When both spouses agree to the terms and conditions surrounding child custody (now referred to as the allocation of parental responsibilities in Illinois), parenting time, the division of property, child support and spousal maintenance in the dissolution of a marriage it is referred to as an amicable divorce. An amicable divorce is almost always uncontested, and since the individuals who are involved in this type of divorce are able to negotiate the terms of their divorce settlement peacefully, a long, drawn out court experience is avoided. While the final terms of the divorce are still subject to the approval of the court, the final decree typically incorporates most, if not all, of the couple's wishes.
