Best way for forcing sharing between 2 series capacitors

What's the best way for forcing sharing between 2 series capacitors rather than add resistor in parallel with the capacitor. Another question if you have output of the power supply for example 10vdc and 1 a dc and switching frequency 60 kHz and ripple need to be less than or equal 1mv so what is the value of capacitance I need?

What is the best way besides the best way? I'm going to need to see the circuit.
Post a schematic.

How would you share what goes thru two series capacitors? What do you mean by share? What goes thru one goes thru the other.

the voltage across the 2 capacitors is 800 vdc and each capacitor is 470uf and 450vdc , so I need to make sure that each capacitor has about 400vdc

If the two caps are the same value, then they will form a voltage divider with equal voltage drop across each.

The best way is to add the two resistors across the caps like you said. I dont know of any other way.
I need to avoid the dissipation on the resistor .do you think if we but zener it will work or may be one conduct first and scroe the balance
