How can we legally explain wanting to get a divorce, but we will continue to be a couple, with two children?

My husband and I are planning on getting a divorce but we will remain together and we have two children. Can we get a divorce? There is no need for alimony, child support or any other dispute so, how can we or how do we get a divorce?
Since we will still be together as a couple but we are only trying to remove the our civil marriage part, how do we legally explain and what are the complications? Would we need a lawyer? I know that, if in the future we were to separate we'd have to go to court for custody of our children, unless we can amicable agree and have it written in paper. Correct?

You can't get a divorce without addressing property and child issues. A divorce is a dissolution of the marriage - you aren't a couple any long; you don't live together' you don't own things in common, .... I'm not sure what you are trying to accomplish but odds are it won't work or be allowed. Feel free to call the office if you would like to set up a consultation to discuss your situation further.
