Document background
The Amicable Divorce Agreement serves as a comprehensive settlement document for couples in England and Wales who wish to divorce by mutual consent. It is particularly relevant following the introduction of no-fault divorce in April 2022, allowing couples to separate without attributing blame. The agreement should be used when both parties have reached consensus on key matters including asset division, financial arrangements, and child custody (if applicable). It forms part of the divorce documentation submitted to the court and can significantly streamline the divorce process by demonstrating clear agreement between parties on all material aspects of their separation.
