Your marriage will be ended via the divorce process. You can acquire a divorce only if you've been married for at least a year. If you and your ex-partner can agree that you both want a divorce and why, you may be able to get divorced without the need for a solicitor or going to court. The reasons behind the dissolution of a marriage are called grounds. There are different types of grounds for divorce, such as mental illness, habitual drunkenness, sexual addiction, and more. In some cases, more than one ground may apply. For example, if your husband has a permanent disability that prevents him from providing for you, this would be a ground for divorce. The divorce is not considered final until all issues related to child custody, visitation, alimony (financial support), and division of property have been resolved. When an agreement cannot be reached, either party's lawyer will present evidence in court showing that the other side violated any part of the agreement. If there's a finding that they did, then the judge will make the decision about what happens next based on the circumstances of the case. You can get divorced without a reason if your marriage has been dead for years and you just don't like your spouse anymore. Divorce is forever; therefore, if you decide to end your marriage later rather than sooner, that's okay too. It's best to leave your marriage with as little damage as possible so that you can start over with new relationships.
