Divorce
In order to file for Divorce, spouses must have been separated for a period of at least twelve (12) months. The Court must also be satisfied that proper arrangements have been made for the care, welfare and development of their children. These are some of the factors an applicant must meet to be succesful in his or her application for Divorce. We can discuss this more fully and guide you through your application during our consultation.
