    It is though, if it’s amicable. It only gets complicated if you disagree on who gets what.

    If there aren’t kids or pets involved, just hire an arbiter and be done with it in a day.

      I’ve been in this situation. Amicable. Split evenly. No kids. A half hour with my buddy who is a lawyer to sign papers and done.

        That depends on the laws in your area though. In some areas, separate accounts mean something, whereas in others, any income after marriage is considered combined, regardless of who owns the accounts.

        That said, if it’s amicable, it’s fast regardless. Just get a third party to work out the details and it’ll be fast.
