Is separation necessary for divorce and what qualifies it and period of it?

I don't think separation qualifies for divorce.....and the rest of your question doesn't make sense.......Some people get a separation because maybe they need space and time to figure out if they are with the right person......some people grow apart and eventually get a divorce and others find out that being apart from each other isn't worth the separation.......marriage is a sacred thing and unfortunately a lot of people take that for granted......you shouldn't get married in the first place if you don't plan on being with that person for the rest of your life..... marriage isn't a game. You have to figure out what it is that person whom is separated from you has a problem with. Or maybe you might want to try counseling....if you truly love each other love will bring you both back.......marriage has to be backed up by love in order to flourish.

most states require a period of being separated for 30 days before you can file for divorce.
at least mine does.
I called my attorney (who i had on speed dial at the time) and said OK lets do this thing....
he said, and I quote "You must be separated for 30 days before you can file. Move out or move him out and call me back in 30 days.

They let you have that 30 days to tie up old business... then they can see who the kid went to stay with in order to help determine who gets custody... and they hope that by that time you have divided your property amiacably, so the courts dont have to determine who gets that toaster, that blue rug... etc.

Here's what OHIO says about divorce:
Residency Requirements and Grounds for Divorce

You must be a resident of Ohio for six months to file for a divorce.

Unless your spouse disagrees, you can get a divorce by simply stating in divorce papers that you and your spouse are "incompatible." Otherwise, the spouse wanting the divorce must prove one of the following grounds for divorce, grounds can include but are not limited to:

* Separation, meaning that the spouses have lived separate and apart without cohabitation for one year

ohio law also had this to say:

Divorce/Separation/Annulment:
After filing of complaint, however, 30 days must elapse before divorce action ... OHIO: The spouse filing the divorce must have been a resident of Ohio for ...
law.enotes.com/everyday-law-encycloped... - 98k -

It was also stated that at the time of the divorce parties may not be cohabitatting.

By 1980, nearly every state legislature had enacted laws allowing no-fault divorces or divorces after a specified period of separation.

Separation is defined as having separate living arrangements, as different addresses under different roofs...... sleeping on the couch doesn't count for squat.

I beleive that may depend on what state you live in. Check the laws that govern the state where you live.

Divorce in itself is a separation and irreconcilable behaviour towards each other would qualify for any impending separation.

I guess it depends on how much you want rid of your spouse. I mean really why not hate them in the same room.

Check your state divorce laws.

No separation necessary, if you know you are done, just file.

depends on what state your in but in Ohio you don't have to be separated to get a divorce.

Where I come from (Toronto, Canada), the law states that once a couple have been apart for a year, they are legally separated. You can also file for a legal separation immediately upon the dissolving of a relationship, but must remanin separated for a minimum of one year before applying for a divorce. Legal separation papers would be necessary to resolve monetary issues (not being stuck with his debts etc)...

Divorce is a very horrible process, hurtful, messy, nasty and brings out the worst in people. My experience of divorce is that immaturity on both sides is a key factor. People need to grow up and learn to find respect for one another. Separation is not a bad thing, because it gives one time to mull over things. My own experience was due to a third party who couldnt keep her panties on, but then he found out later she took them off for 5 other guys too. There are so many factors that make people give in to temptation. He blames her, she blames the snake and the snake hasnt got a leg to stand on. I personally feel it takes 2 to make a fight and a divorce is 50% on both sides. If issues are petty, try to solve them rather than get a divorce. Divorce is far too easy these days and it is more than often due to lack of commitment. My suggestion is to take time off apart to cool off and seek help from good counsellors., Dont point finges there are three pointing back at you. When you change your partner changes. One has to mature and give up the childish behaviour. We were separated for 4 years but he cme back and we have been together now for 8 years without any nonsense. We have learnt to deal with everything. Get rid of the baggage thats all I can say. You will be surprised how things can be resolved. Good luck to you! Tapping into God helps even more trust me!

In California i filed for divorce 1 week after leaving my ex. That is how long it took to do all moving and paper work. Good luck. Divorce is messy.


Ramzi
well if you are an open minded person you can get divorce and keep mating. you can get divorced any time you feel like it

must be feel by mony or fitting or women or eat or what ?


deep_blue_true
Depends on which country your in

In New Zealand - 2 yrs seperation is required. Living completely appart,. If in NZ ask WINZ or any marriage councilor


November Hale
Hmm, if you are divorcing...why would you stay?

Yes, I think separation is necessary.

Possibly it is necessary before you consider divorce. Maybe the two of you need space to breath and think a bit clearer.

In some cases, reconciling does take place and the marriage can be saved rather than dissolved.

separation doesn't mean full out divorce, it means you two need just to be away from one another. For a few days. If you fight too much and think its necessary the you should 1-get consuling or 2-diveroce (i recomend #1)

yes it is< depends the state u live in


myheadhurts
Separation is the best thing before divorce. Time apart will clear your head and allow you both to determine if divorce is the only answer. Don't rush it. You should be separated no less than 1 year before you completely throw in the towel. Separation means living totally separate lives, different bed, home, financial activities and if possible circle of friends. Time will be the only way to determine where you both should go.


lany
personally i think that people can be separated and not be divorced but the separation period will in some cases lead to the divorce. though it depends on what jurisdiction u are situated because the separation period can determine whether a divorce proceedings is applicable to the situation.

Divorce is the legal separation of two people who have binded in a legal agreement called marrigage that is recognised by law.
when the marrigage starts to not turn out to expectations, the two people are separated and if the separation is decided to be taken to court then it becomes a divorce.

So yes I guess it is necessary

so i guess

Why do things have to be so complicated. It's what ever you want it to be... time off = time to fool around on the spouse but if things don't go well will you wait for me, give it up already!!!


Maria M
Well first u have to think about it is it really necessary for u guys to get divorce, did u had married counseling did u try hard but if u want to get divorced i talked to a friend of mine she is a lawyer and she said it all depends the state that u live in but please talk it over and then make a decision.


bluchic
of course, you need this separation to decide if this is what you really want. you just may need time apart from each other. if there is abuse in the relationship then you don't need a separation but a straight divorce.

I have been separated from wife for over 4 years, not legally separated. I just found a friend that i knew 24 years ago. I re-meet her on the facebook just 5 months ago. My friend is having marriage troubles and she is going to separted from her hubsband after 17 years of marriage. The problem i am 24 years older than her. I had always liked her more than a friend.
