- Both spouses must mutually consent to divorce
- A joint petition is filed in the family court after at least one year of marriage
- Agreements on alimony, child custody, and division of property must be settled
- A mandatory cooling-off period between the first and second hearing (usually 6 to 18 months)
- Final decree of divorce granted if the court is satisfied
