9. How long must I be married before getting separated?

A: For a divorce, you must be married for at least one year. If the marriage breaks down before reaching one year, you may separate temporarily and come to agreements regarding financial arrangements and child custody.

10. Does the grounds used for divorce matter?

A: Not really, although some grounds for divorce do rely on a period of separation. Using infidelity as a reason for divorce, for example, does not significantly affect custody or asset distribution.

11. When can a divorce petition be filed?

A: You can file a divorce petition after being married for more than one year. However, you can separate and try to agree on financial and child arrangements while waiting to file the petition.

12. Do I need a lawyer for a divorce?

A: It is recommended to seek legal advice if the divorce involves international matters or significant amounts of money. A lawyer cannot represent both partners, so each should seek independent legal advice.

13. Will I have to go to court?

A: In most cases, the divorce process is conducted through paperwork, and you will not be required to attend court unless the proceedings become contested, which is rare. However, you may need to go to court if you and your partner cannot agree on child arrangements or financial provisions.

14. How long will it take?

A: When the divorce is uncontested, it typically takes around 5-6 months from the start of proceedings to the declaration of Decree Absolute. However, this duration may vary depending on the court schedule and any existing backlog.

15. Do I have to get divorced? What are the alternatives?

A: If your relationship has broken down but neither of you wants to pursue divorce proceedings, there are alternative ways to formalize your separation without ending the marriage. One option is to file a request for a judicial separation. Another option is not to initiate any legal proceedings but to separate officially and document the terms of separation, such as financial arrangements and child custody, in a Separation Agreement or Deed of Separation.

16. If we change our minds, can we halt the divorce process?

A: From a legal standpoint, you remain married until the Decree Absolute is pronounced, finalizing the divorce. The petitioner can stop the divorce process at any point before that.
