Divorce made simple - Is it possible?

The dissolution of marriage is always emotionally burdensome. Once the spouses have reached their decision, they usually wish to finalize the termination of their irretrievably broken relationship as soon as possible and at the lowest possible cost.

In order for the court to pronounce the divorce within the shortest possible timeframe permitted by law and in compliance with the applicable rules on court fees, it is advisable for the parties to reach a prior agreement. A mediator can provide significant assistance during this amicable negotiation process by helping the parties structure the framework of the settlement and fill it with content, while keeping in view the interests of both sides.

If the parties succeed in reaching a compromise concerning the custody and residence of the children, contact arrangements, child maintenance, the division of jointly owned property, and other essential matters, the judicial proceedings will be efficient and cost-effective.

Experience shows that the grievances accumulated during the years of marriage often hinder the parties from reaching a win–win settlement. Nevertheless, only such an agreement can ensure the children's long-term emotional well-being and foster continued cooperation between the former spouses over the years to come.
