No-fault Divorce
The second kind of disputed divorce, which is a divorce effective not based on fault, requires the dissolution of the spouses' domestic partnership (separation). In this case, the spouse who may be ultimately responsible for the breakdown of the marriage can therefore also request a divorce three years after separation.
However, based on Dr. Nademleinsky's practical experience, the following questions are frequently asked:
- How long do I have to live apart before I can get a divorce?
- My partner has left me, but I don't want to get divorced. Can I prevent the divorce?
- We live in the same apartment, but in separate rooms: does that count as “separation”?
- We have lived in different places because of our jobs. Does this count as separation?
- What are the consequences of a divorce based on separation for alimony and property division?
As a seasoned Attorney-at-Law practising exlusively in Family Law, and of course, being fluent in English, Dr. Nademleinsky would be happy to assist you (contact).
