Divorce Guide

A divorce is most commonly obtained on the grounds that the couple has lived separate and apart for a period of at least one year. You can also obtain a divorce in less than one year if you can prove that your spouse committed adultery or was physically or emotionally abusive.

If the divorce is uncontested, it can be obtained by submitting documents to the Court without the necessity of a court appearance.

If you are seriously considering divorce, you are wise to seek legal advice. It is possible to obtain a do it yourself divorce in the simplest of situations but you will likely find it a little trickier than you expected. If the marriage has lasted more than a few years, if you have children, if you or your spouse have accumulated property since the marriage or if one spouse is financially dependent on the other, you will need legal assistance.
