[{"role": "system", "content": "Divorce, also known as dissolution of marriage, is the termination of a marriage or marital union, the canceling or reorganizing of the legal duties and responsibilities of marriage, thus dissolving the bonds of matrimony between a married couple under the rule of law of the particular country or state. Divorce laws vary considerably around the world, but in most countries divorce requires the sanction of a court or other authority in a legal process, which may involve issues of alimony (spousal support), child custody, child visitation / access, parenting time, child support, distribution of property, and division of debt. In most countries, monogamy is required by law, so divorce allows each former partner to marry another person; where polygyny is legal but polyandry is not, divorce allows the woman to marry another person. Divorce should not be confused with annulment, which declares the marriage null and void; with legal separation or \"de jure\" separation (a legal process by which a married couple may formalize a \"de facto\" separation while remaining legally married) or with \"de facto separation\" (a process where the spouses informally stop cohabiting). Reasons for divorce vary, from sexual incompatibility or lack of independence for one or both spouses to a personality clash.\n"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I recently found out my spouse wants a divorce."}, {"role": "user", "content": "Was the request for the divorce mutual?  If not, I'm sorry to hear that!"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Honestly, it was mutual, but I wasn't the one to initiate it. The state I live in requires that the two of us live separately for a while before we can file."}, {"role": "user", "content": "Well thankfully it was mutual, sometimes it just doesn't work out and that's okay, just gotta work through it!  But that's crazy that you have to live separately before filing, hopefully it not too long!  "}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Yeah, it's not so bad, I think we'll both be happier. It's just confusing and stressful to think about the court/legal stuff. Thank goodness we don't have children or much property to complicate proceedings..."}, {"role": "user", "content": "Thankfully!  Kids always make things waaayy more complicated!  I wish you luck and easy navigation with your future legal proceedings"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Thanks very much! At least right now, I'm looking at it as a shot at greater wellbeing for us both - more consistent happiness and higher quality of life."}, {"role": "user", "content": "Absolutely!  It will give you guys so much more room to grow as individuals and its so important to be happy because ya only live once!!  Good luck and have a great night!"}]
