The vows the divorcing couple make to each other with hopes of a cordial post-marriage relationship. Awash in disillusion, not unlike with marriage vows, the couple untying the knot make promises of paying child support regularly, not switching weekends without notice, embracing new spouses, etc.
The divorce vows Rick and Cindy made to each other lasted about 3 months, approximately the same time as marriage vows last before disintegrating into reality.

Like a push present. Except you buy something for yourself to celebrate your new found independence.

I'm forever grateful to Sofia, my divorce whisperer, for telling me that I should get a divorce instead of continuing to try to make a failing marriage work.

The target weight of a woman who is or will be back on the market. To estimate (in lbs) 1.5 x weight at marriage (or use her actual weight while married) then subtract 2 x her age at divorce. e.g. A woman married at 120 lbs (maxed out at 180 lbs) and got divorced at 40. Divorce weight=(1.5 x 120)-(80)=100lbs

Intern: But I don't get it, judge. They're not living together, they're fighting over this boat, he has an order of protection out against her, but they're still married?
Judge: Neither one of them would agree to pay the attorney's fees for an actual divorce. This is what some lawyers call a redneck divorce.

running with the idea of a velvet rope, a velvet divorce is a dissolution of a relationship where you get the better end of the deal (the house, the furniture, the friends) while the other person is basically left with nothing
person 1: oh girl, i heard about you and john, are you ok?
person 2: absolutely! it was a velvet divorce. the house is mine and he's moving into some little apartment next week.
person 1: alright girl, work it
