    Hi, I have been looking on your main website but thought it might be quicker to get an answer here.
    Me and my ex have been split up for over 5 years. I have moved on and have a new partener and have child together.
    Can I get one of these new divorces I have read about or do I have to say we have been separated for a certin period of time?
    My ex is happy to go ahead as he is also in a relationship and there are no issues. Thanks in advance.

    Hello! Thank you for reaching out. You can indeed get a divorce under the new no-fault divorce law, which simplifies the process significantly. Since the introduction of this law, you no longer need to give specific grounds for divorce such as behaviour or adultery or prove a period of separation.

     

    Here’s what you need to know:

     

    – You can petition for a divorce after being married for at least 12 months and 1 day,
    – You simply need to declare that your marriage has irretrievably broken down.
    – The process involves a minimum 20-week reflection period, followed by a 6-week cooling-off period before the court grants a final order to formally end the marriage.
