Divorce
For every 1,000 married couples in the UK, 13 end up divorced according to statistics. Divorce is often a complicated and messy process, and throws up many pities.
Divorce Issues
Such painful issues as whether to sell your home, which parent will look after your children,and how it will affect any loans you may have, will all have to be resolved. And if you are divorcing your partner in Scotland rather, than in England and Wales then another set of laws will apply.
For many couples, obtaining a divorce has never been easier. The old-fashioned concept of establishing that one party is at fault has been committed to history and the important fact to establish now is that the relationship has "irreparably broken down".
In Court or Online?
It is even possible to divorce your partner online, allowing you to save on legal costs – and according to online experts, this can save you about £700 from the average £800. However, this method is only suitable for very straight forward and uncontested divorces. Alternatively, you can apply for divorce at a county court in England and Wales, but to do this, couples must have been married for at least a year.
The first stage of divorce is obtaining what is known as a "Decree nisi (日后才生效的离婚判决书)”. This is granted if the court is satisfied the marriage has "irreparably broken down",and this is proven by showing one of five things: adultery (通奸行为) ; unreasonable behavior;desertion on the part of one partner for at least two years; that the couple have been separated for two years and both spouses agree to divorce; or that the couple have been separated for five years.Your spouse's "unreasonable behavior" must be so intolerable that nobody could reasonably expect you to carry on living with him or her. It could include, for example, financial carelessness,drinking, gambling, or lack of emotional support. You cannot base your divorce on this if you then live together for a period of more than six months afterwards. This rule also applies to desertion, and the discovery that adultery has taken place.
The second and final stage is obtaining a "Decree absolute (绝对判决)". The divorce can be stopped at any time until this is granted, so it is advisable to sort out all the financial and practical details first.
