How to divorce Stardew Valley?

If you're wondering how to divorce Stardew Valley, the process is straightforward but comes with significant consequences that you should carefully consider before proceeding.

How to Get Divorced in Stardew Valley

To initiate a divorce, visit Mayor Lewis's house and interact with the small brown book on his bookshelf. This will open the divorce menu where you can select your current spouse. The divorce will cost you 50,000g, making it one of the most expensive actions in the game.

Once you confirm the divorce, your spouse will immediately move out of your farmhouse and return to their original location. Any children you have together will disappear permanently – there's no way to get them back, even if you remarry the same person later.

Consequences of Divorce

Relationship Reset

Your relationship with your ex-spouse will drop to zero hearts, and they'll have negative dialogue when you interact with them. This bitter attitude will persist indefinitely, affecting your social interactions in Pelican Town.

Lost Items and Upgrades

Any spouse-specific room additions to your house will remain, but you'll lose the daily benefits your partner provided, such as breakfast or farm maintenance help.

Remarrying After Divorce

You can remarry after divorce, but rebuilding relationships takes considerable time and effort. If you want to remarry your ex-spouse, you'll need to court them from scratch, including giving them a Mermaid's Pendant again.

Memory Wipe Option

For 30,000g, you can visit the Witch's Hut to erase your ex-spouse's memory of the divorce, resetting their attitude toward you to neutral.

Divorce in Stardew Valley is permanent and costly, so make sure you're certain about this decision. Have you considered whether the benefits outweigh the substantial financial and social costs?
