Under the current "no-fault" divorce law in England and Wales, you do not need to provide a specific reason. A simple statement that the marriage has irretrievably broken down is enough.
The process involves applying for a divorce, waiting for the conditional order (previously decree nisi), and then applying for the final order (previously decree absolute).
Yes, but you must show that you are living separate lives even if you remain under the same roof.
If you cannot reach an agreement, the court can make a financial order deciding how assets will be divided.
