When a marriage reaches an impasse, and you both decide that enough is enough. The sometime painful process of who gets what begins. Once this is done to an acceptable degree, you can look online for divorce forms etc, and between you (if you have no children), you can get a simple divorce with the minimum of fuss. This is what's known as a no fault, or no contest divorce.
Most costly divorce settlements are due to spitefulness and bitterness. These kinds of divorce are a waste of energy and your money, and can often escalate the problems which drove you to divorce ion the first place.
Once you remove the emotional aspect of the divorce, it can make it much more affordable for both parties to negotiate on their own, without an attorney and decide the property division, and file your own legal divorce forms. Many times, attorneys are involved, only to ultimately make you negotiate your own divorce with a middleman, the courts do not require an attorney for the actual divorce.
Based on your possessions which you have both gathered over the years, it can be pretty easy assigning who gets what car, and who should move out of your shared home, as well as who gets which personal items. It's these items which can cause the most heartache. Try and be understanding to your partner's feelings when going through family albums, CDs etc.
If you are fair, give your spouse the items you know that they will want and it will be easy to get through this part.
There is assistance in many of the legal divorce form sites, for you to put this agreement into your divorce filing paperwork. However this is done, it will all need to be in writing and be presented when you submit your legal divorce forms.
Cars and real estate may also have debts against them, so normally the spouses will decide who gets the asset along with the debt that goes with it. In the case of the home, many times, it will be placed for sale while one spouse continues to live in it with the agreement to upkeep and work towards the goal of selling it, then the equity will be divided.
Once you have agreed on the division of property, it is time to draw up your actual legal divorce forms, they are normally listed State-specific, and then file them at the courthouse with the applicable fees.
Remember courthouse staff does not give legal advice so it's best to check all the documentation and instructions that came with your forms prior to leaving for the court.
Once you have filed and paid your fees, a date will be set. Either one or both of you will go before a judge, and if he is happy with the application he will grant you your divorce. You will end up saving thousands in legal fees, and you never know, you may even remain friends.
