If you are divorcing on the grounds of separation you will need to have been separated for two years (if you both agree) or five years (if you don’t agree) before you can start the process. If you are looking to issue a divorce petition immediately, it has to be based on complaints of behaviour or adultery.
Can you separate without going to court?
