    Aren’t divorces rather expensive in themselves though, which might cancel out the effect you’re going for?

      Not if there’s no fight, no lawyers. It’s free, or close enough, to go to the courthouse and file the papers.

      That comes from fighting the other person, which doesn’t happen if it happens amicably

        Damn just the filing fee is $300 where I live. And I’m sure there’s extra fees down the road on that.
