Divorce

You can file for divorce if you have been married for at least a year and either you or your partner live in England or Wales. It does not matter where the marriage took place.There are five possible grounds for divorce:

  • Your spouse has committed adultery
  • Your spouse has behaved so unreasonably that you cannot be expected to continue living together
  • Your spouse has deserted you for a continuous period of two years
  • You and your spouse have been living apart for two years and your spouse agrees to a divorce
  • You and your spouse have been living separately for five years or more
