Typically, the court requires any one of the reasons to prove a breakdown of marriage. This includes adultery, desertion and unreasonable behaviour, separation for 2 years with consent or 5 years separation. If the couple is going for a cordial divorce, the lawyers will work towards a negotiated agreement; however, if the couple is not agreeing on some areas, separate lawyers are required.
