In order to apply for a divorce, you must demonstrate that there has been a breakdown of the marriage and the parties have been separated and living apart for a year. After that, you can file for divorce. Once filed with the court a judge will review the documentation to make sure all of the requirements for divorce have been met. Once the application is granted, your Divorce will then take effect on the 31st day after the Divorce Order was granted.
If both parties agree to divorce you can file a joint application for divorce, which may cut down on wait times.
The process described above is that of a simple divorce, but if there are more contentious issues such as spousal support, child support, and division of property, the process will likely take longer.
