What are the steps for a mutual consent if both the husband and wife after 10 years of marriage and 2 kids feel that now, they have grown apart further and there is no love between them.The wife is a house wife is not working and the Kids are 8 years and 4 years old. From a financial viewpoint the husband is OK to support both the kids education so that the kids have a best education possible. What other points need to be considered to make it a very amicable separation.

Primary thing is that how much support you can give to the wife and children and there should be a commitment before the court, with an understanding you can apply for divorce, even there may be contest when applied. you should be ready for any eventuality

You can file a divorce petition by mutual consent if both of you have come to the conclusion that you have not been able to live together. Both parties must agree that the marriage should be dissolved. Both parties must apply to the District Court not earlier than six months and not later than 18 months after that date the petition may be heard and the Decree of Divorce dissolving the marriage may be granted. The rest depends on the facts and circumstances.
