What You May Not Know About When Divorced

‘D-I-V-O-R-C-E’ is ‘H-E’ double ‘L’… just ask Tammy Wynette. Nobody gets married with divorce in mind. But it happens. Particularly in these times of throwaway relationships. A piece of paper gets you married, another piece of paper gets you—not married. It’s not easy to remove the ugliness from divorce, so atleast remove the ignorance. Here are some things you may not know about divorce.

What Happened To “Us”?

The breakdown of a marriage is usually the basis upon which divorce is based. Marriage breakdown is clearly defined in the courts; it says:

• You can no longer live with your mate due to mental or physical cruelty. Severe mental anguish and physical violence are prime examples.

• On the basis that both parties agreed that your marriage was over, you and your mate have been living apart for the last year.

• An unforgivable act, namely adultery, has been committed by your mate. It must be something that you feel you cannot get past.

Proving that your spouse is responsible for the marriage breakdown is another story, but a necessary one if you are to obtain a divorce. In the case of cruelty or adultery you’re going to need to furnish proof beyond a reasonable doubt. This is, after all, court. Keep in mind that your marriage isn’t over just because you have filed for divorce. It’s not over till the judge says it’s over!

Let’s Get It Over With

Let’s say you’ve done the living apart for a year thing, but you’ve decided to try to reconcile. There’s a window here; you’ve got 90 days. After 90 days, if it’s a no-go, you can proceed with your divorce filing as if you had never moved back in together. Should you and your soon to be former spouse actually agree on any and all issues raised by the divorce, you will be granted an uncontested divorce.
