Another condition to file a divorce is, you must be married for more than ONE YEAR

The Step Divorce:

Complete name and addresses of yourself & spouse

Copy of the marriage certificate

Details of any children even if grown up

Get the Decree Nisi

If you and your partner both agree to the divorce, then you get a decree nisi and you can proceed to the next step.
