When talking about clean breaks, I was speaking about the personal aspect
of the relationship, not the difficulty of the legal aspects. I too have
had friends who, although the personal level of the divorce was mutually
agreeable, the legal aspects were not so clean. These people, however, are 
still friends. Even though the courts considered them still married, they
considered themselves single from the time of their decision. My basic point 
that it is possible to have marrieges with cleaner break-ups than some re-
lationships not involving marriage. Perhaps I should have made the quali-
fication, "The courts permitting".
