"Am I only one who thinks having to wait 4 years for divorce in Ireland is ridiculous? Why can't there be a referendum to cut the waiting list down?" Don't think it's so much a waiting list as a cooling off period just to be sure divorce is what u want | |||

"There is talk of cutting it to 2 years. I don't think a referendum is needed for this. 4 years is way too long. 2 I think would be long enough. As another poster mentioned it's a cooling off period and to see if there is reconciliation. " 2 years is much more reasonable. Some people find it hard to move on and I think the closure of divorce would help. | |||

There are also financial implications to having to wait four years too. Things like inheritance and changes in circumstances become relevant again when the divorce comes around | |||

I have to go to court for a judicial separation as we can't agree to each others terms for a legal separation. Judicial separation is a quick pass to a divorce but without legal aid, you're talking 10k to go to court for it. It's all very silly. ![]() | |||

The date the relationship broke down..or as near to it as the week or for example things were bad during the summer and we split up by Halloween.. | |||

"It's 4 years from the time you stopped being in a relationship with your ex not 4 years from when you get a legal separation. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Not that I'd anything to worry about but solicitor told me that as well. Once your relationship has broken up is a pretty loose term but basically when you are no longer living the same way as you were beforehand. For example: if you've only one bed, you can still be sleeping in it together as long as that is ALL you do. Of course it needs your ex to be honest and admit that... Luckily for me, mine was. | |||

I dont think its long at all..The reason why you got married to that person in the first case is becuse you were both in love..how can you just stop loving someone after a year or 2 years..4 years would make your mind up the love would be gone ![]() | |||

"Ridiculous amount of time I’ve 1.5yrs to wait to get divorced I knew straight away it was the right decision to separate never once went back. Should be done on an individual basis and mediation" Exactly! Each case should be seen individually. Esp if there's kids involved and there's still hassle cos one parent is having trouble moving on. | |||

You marry someone and it doesn't work out for whatever reason, doesn't even have to be anyone's fault. 4 years is holding people to randsom. Meditation is a good way to go if you both can agree who gets what. If you can't agree and it goes to court the only people who win are solicitors. | |||

Judicial separation is a quick pass to a divorce but without legal aid, you're talking 10k to go to court for it. It's all very silly. ![]() You will still have to go through the whole divorce proceedings again I'm afraid. And what's agreed for a judicial separation does not necessarily mean will be granted in a divorce. In Ireland the whole lot goes back into the pot again come divorce time. I got a judicial separation but was agreed by the barristers and both parties before we went into court. We still had to go into court for the Judge to rule the settlement. When it gets closer to the court date one side usually asks for settlement talks to see if something can be agreed. Still costs the same amount though ![]() | |||

"What they didn't take into account was the amount of people living in complete misery and poverty due to relationship breakdown " I'm fairly sure the politicians took that into account, and just don't care. If they don't care about mental patients being denied water as punishment, why would they give a shit about someone during a breakup? Do you think they care about women because they brought in Abortion? | |||
