Divorce and the Law on Getting Divorced

Separation
To obtain a divorce based on separation for a period of at least one year, you and your spouse must have lived separate and apart for that year. The period of separation can pass while you are both living under the same roof; however, you must behave as if your marriage has come to an end. That usually means stopping sleeping together, stopping doing chores for each other, stopping going out together and so on.
The ''[[Divorce Act]]'' says that separated spouses can attempt to reconcile and resume living together for up to 90 days without stopping the clock on separation as a reason for a divorce order. If they have lived together for more than 90 days since the first separation, the one-year clock will start again at the end of the last period in which they lived together as married spouses.
