How to get a Cyber-Divorce in Cyberpunk 2077

In the world of Cyberpunk 2077, a "Cyber-Divorce" might refer to the severing of:

Romantic relationships, especially with NPCs like Judy, Panam, River, or Kerry.

Mind-net links, memory implants, or shared neural experiences.

Corporate-arranged or techno-contractual marriages (for lore/RP purposes).

Or even something symbolic like removing a "soul chip" that binds you to someone digitally.

This guide focuses on roleplaying the concept, not a literal in-game divorce menu.

First, figure out who you’re divorcing:

Romantic partner (Judy, Panam, etc.)
Braindance or memory-linked person
AI construct (like Johnny)
Corpo-arranged contract partner (RP/lore)
If it’s a romantic partner, this will be more of a narrative/RP choice.

There’s no direct “break up” option, but you can roleplay it by:
- Ignoring romantic dialogue.
- Avoiding side missions tied to the character.
- Choosing the dialogue that distances V from them.
Example: If you romance Judy and want to "cyber-divorce" her:
- Don’t call her.
- Don’t revisit the house.
- Choose dialogue options that show disinterest.

For immersion, write a fictional digital divorce agreement, for example:

“This neural-binding agreement between V and [Partner] is hereby nullified. All shared memories, affection modules, and emotional AI protocols are terminated under Article 9 of the 2077 Post-Human Cohabitation Act.”

You can create a Braindance-like document or implant log. Get creative!

Here is a helpful example:

📄 NCPD-Certified Cyber-Divorce Contract

Document ID: NUSA-DV47-2077
Filed Via: NetSecure™ | Blockchain-Verified on the Arasaka SubNet
Date: 2077.11.14

Parties Involved

Clause 1 – Termination of Neural Linkage

As of this contract’s activation timestamp, all biotechnical, emotional, and cybernetic ties between Party A and Party B are rendered null and void.

Shared engram fragments are to be wiped per NeuroPrivacy Act (2069).

Residual affection protocols are to be decompiled.

Any synaptic latency tethering is hereby severed.

Clause 2 – Digital Asset Division

All shared digital assets (holo-pics, message logs, sensory backups) will be archived and quarantined in a Blackwall-compliant vault for 7 cycles before deletion.

Physical items (clothing, weapons, keepsakes) remain in possession of their respective owners unless otherwise disputed via arbitration at the Totentanz Mediation Court.

Clause 3 – Emotional Disassociation Protocol

Party A and Party B are prohibited from utilizing prior shared memories in any form of emotional manipulation, AI modeling, or personal development sims.

Any breach will result in a Class 3 PsyNet Violation, punishable under the Emotional Sovereignty Directive (2074).

Clause 4 – Social Net & Communication Rights

Party A and Party B waive all rights to expect comms, calls, or texts unless related to life-threatening emergencies or mutual enemies.

Ghosting is not only permitted — it is legally encouraged under Section 404 of the Interpersonal Disconnect Accord.

Clause 5 – Finalization and Sanctioning

This cyber-divorce contract is digitally signed using Neurosig™ Authentication and witnessed by NetWatch Observer AI [ID: OBS-311-E].

Once activated, contract terms are irreversible barring divine intervention or time-travel anomaly.

Signed,

V
::BioSig:: [REDACTED]

[Partner Name]
::BioSig:: [REDACTED]

- Delete messages and calls from that character.

- Remove shared items (e.g., mementos or clothing).

- Modify your appearance to reflect a new life (new cyberware, hair, or outfit).

- Use a Ripperdoc visit to symbolize “cutting off” your connection.

If you're on PC, consider using mods to deepen the “divorce” feel:

💻 Appearance mods to remove relationship tattoos/clothing.

🎭 Dialogue/NPC mods to disable interactions with that partner.

🧩 Use mods like Cyber Engine Tweaks to create custom scenarios or force events.

Note: Always back up your saves before modding!

I recommend using Nexus Mod Manager for easily downloading and configuring modifications!

After the symbolic or modded divorce:

- Pursue a different romantic interest (if available).

- Roleplay a new personality (more cold, corporate, spiritual, etc.).

- Make story decisions that reflect your new independence.

While Cyberpunk 2077 doesn’t support marriage or divorce as actual mechanics, its open-ended narrative allows for plenty of personal storytelling and roleplay. A “Cyber-Divorce” is more symbolic — a narrative choice you make to change your character’s trajectory.

If CDPR adds more relationship mechanics in future expansions, we might see more formal systems emerge.
