Mutual quiet divorce without trashing the relationship?
Lady Moiraine:
I use this mod, I'm not sure if we're allowed to post this link but I'll try, the mod works fine and I'm not sure if there is an equivalent one found here at MATY.

Also, I use this hack with the BreakUp hack:

I always take out the Break Up hack after I've broken up my sims, it's kind of dangerous to leave in the game, in case you accidentally click on it with a couple you don't want to break up!
(If these links are deleted, PM me.)

I don't think this forum has any restrctions about that kind of stuff.

I've always used SimPE for that. Open the Sim browser or Sim description for one of the sims in the relationship, click on the "relations" tab. Scroll down the list of sims with which your sim has a relationship until you find their spouse/partner. At the right hand side of the screen there will be two sets of bars: x's relationship to y, and y's relationship to x. Don't move the bars if you want to preserve the friendship, best friend, etc status. Look at the check boxes under each set of bars and uncheck the love, crush, steady, married, family, etc. buttons.
When you are done, only "friend", "buddy", and "known" should be checked. Then click on the commit button and do a file+save. When you go back into your game, your sims will still be living in the same house, but will no longer be married or in love. They will just be best friends (I'm assuming if they are currently married, that they are best friends - any married sim I had was best friends with their spouse).
Care should be taken at this stage not to let them flirt with each other, hug, or gods forbid, kiss, or the whole crush/love thing will rear its ugly head again.

That sounds alike a very bad idea to me.
If nothing else, it would greatly bother me to have (to use a HTML expression) open tags like that. If my sims have a memory of being married, I couldn't have them move on without also having a memory of the break up.

Certainly a point, showing my inherent non-awesomeness. It may be that one just has to do the breakup and live through the bad memories temporarily, although I suppose one could use debug mode and adjust relationship bars to make it easier for the former couple to be friends again.
