Divorce
Before applying to the Court for a Divorce, all of the following conditions must be met:
The spouses must have been living apart for a period amounting to four out of the previous five years. Both parties could be living within the same house but be living apart within separate households. |
|
There must be no reasonable prospect of reconciliation. |
|
Proper provision must be made for spouses and any dependant members of the family, such as children and other relatives. |
Like Judicial Separation, the court may take a number of factors into account when granting a divorce decree. Before a divorce hearing proceeds, each party provide the other party and the court with all the information regarding their income.
