Seperation or Divorce?

Though couples who wed vow to stay together for eternity, in this day and age most do not. Some people even enter into marriage because they know they can get divorced!

However, divorce is often looked upon negatively by some religions and families. If divorce is not a viable option for someone, there are alternatives that allow them the same benefits as being married.

There are two forms of separation, civil and judicial.

Civil separation is a legal separation. This is sometimes not the right option for some couples as it requires co-operation from both parties so that a financial agreement can be worked out. This financial settlement is to stop one spouse being having financial advantage whilst the other spouse gets nothing.

 Judicial separation is more like divorce. It costs as much as a divorce and valid reasons need to be stated as to why there should be a separation.

Under Divorce Law, couples wait 2 years to be able to legally divorce if the marriage is just not working and has broken down. For an immediate divorce there needs to be evidence of adultery or unreasonable behaviour.

Divorce Laws Outdated to say the Least

Divorce laws in England and Wales are in desperate need of radical reform, Nicola Hesdon, Head of Family Law at Keith Park Solicitors, said today.

Unfortunately, these days in modern Britain, divorce is common.  Although the law in this area has come a long way over the years, couples still have to point the finger of blame, if they are to obtain a successful divorce.  Nicola Hesdon commented “having to have an element of blame often gets in the way of successfully resolving the financial matters upon divorce.  It is extremely outdated”.

Couples who want an immediate divorce have to prove that their spouse has, either behaved unreasonably or committed adultery.  More often than not, this creates animosity.
