Frequently Asked Questions
The divorce, without resolving the finances, takes normally between six to twelve months. Often it is best to finalise the financial aspects of the divorce before applying for your divorce to be made final.
If you cannot agree, the Court will decide.
You will need to demonstrate that your marriage has broken down, by being able to prove one of the following:
- Your spouse has committed adultery.
- Your spouse has demonstrated unreasonable behaviour.
- Your partner has left you for a continuous period of 2 years.
- You have been separated for at least 2 years and you both agree to the divorce.
- You have been separated for at least 5 years – it doesn’t matter if your partner doesn’t agree to the divorce.
If you have been married for less than 2 years, you can only use unreasonable behaviour, adultery or desertion as your reason for getting divorced.
Most divorces are dealt with on paper and you do not have to attend a court hearing, provided your spouse does not oppose the divorce.
If you have not put in place a ‘living together agreement’, any of the following could apply.
- If you do not own any of the property in which you live, you have no automatic right to stay there.
- Other than child maintenance, you have no right to receive maintenance for yourself from your ex-partner.
- If you live in a rented property together and the tenancy is solely in your ex partner’s name, you have no right to stay if you are asked to leave.
- If the possessions within the property are owned by or were purchased by your ex-partner, you have no automatic right to a share of those possessions.
