Divorce
To apply for a divorce you must have been separated for 12 months.
The ground for divorce is irretrievable breakdown of marriage evidenced
by 12 months separation. In some circumstances it is still possible
to prove irretrievable breakdown of marriage even though you may
have lived at the same address or reconciled for a period of up
to 3 months.
Once a divorce order is made it comes into effect 1 month later.
In certain circumstances the period between the divorce order being
made and coming into effect can be reduced.
