Amicable in legal circles means either friendly (but usually not truly friendly bc they’re getting a divorce,) but without fighting, or at least maintaining civility. Amicable also means tolerable proceedings. She knew what was the “norm” (pun intended,) generally how things get divided. Seems she gave him some property, per WS, which I thought was rather generous at the time I read the property division. Looking back, maybe something more than needed to get away from him.
It looked like things in marriage 1 must have been over for awhile as FO was actively pursing JD while still married to wife 1. I agree that when you look at the distribution of assets it looks like she gave more than she had to but perhaps she knew that it was what it would take to escape? IDK. She did move far far away from FO too! MOO
