Hi all -
So glad to find this group. I am a newbie here as well as to separation and divorce. My husband of 23 years and I are separating. Never thought this would be me but it is and it was my idea. I suggested it last summer and my husband agreed about a month later. Since then, we have both gotten attorneys as well as a financial planner who specializes in divorce. We're in the midst of putting together a separation agreement. Had no idea how involved this alone would be. So far, everything has been quite amicable and we want to keep it that way for the sake our daughter and ourselves. This is a no-contest, no fault divorce. Is it really possible to keep things amicable or is this just a fantasy?

so I'd label my position as non-combative casuality
good luck, i hope better for you
For some couples emotions and hurt get in the way and it drives them to make divorce a boxing match. Divorce really is a legal procedure and a legal contract and emotions should come out of it anyway--but not everyone goes into it looking at it that way.
I'm glad to hear things are going so well with the two of you in handling this divorce. It will make it easier on both of you and your daughter. Plus it will make co-parenting of your daughter much easier too. Many, many hugs.
Welcome to the forum by the way. I'm curious. Why did you and your husband decide on divorce? Most people on here have a story of deep woundedness or adultery.
