Divorce by Agreement
If the parties agree through consultation, they can agree to divorce. But there is a 30-day cooling-off period for an agreed divorce. As stipulated in the Civil Code:
Article 1076 Where both husband and wife intend to get divorced voluntarily, they shall sign a written divorce agreement and shall apply for divorce registration in person to the marriage registration authority.
The divorce agreement shall set forth both parties’ intention of voluntary divorce and consensus on matters of children upbringing, property and debt settlement through consultation.
Article 1077 If, within 30 days after the marriage registration bureaus receive the divorce registration applications, any of the parties does not want to get divorced, he/she may withdraw the divorce registration applications from the marriage registration bureaus.
Within 30 days after the expiration of the above prescribed period, both parties shall in person apply to the marriage registration bureaus for the issuance of divorce certificates; those who fail to make the application shall be deemed to have withdrawn the application.
Article 1078 The marriage registration office, after clearly establishing that both parties desire divorce voluntarily and have reached unanimity through consultation in matters of child rearing and property management and the handling of debts, shall grant registration and issue the divorce certificates.
If you don’t know how to write a divorce agreement, please contact our lawyer for advice.
Divorce by Litigation
If both men and women cannot reach an agreement by consensus, they can only go to a court with jurisdiction to sue for divorce. The court will grant divorce under any of the following circumstances:
Article 1079 If one party alone desires a divorce, the organization concerned may carry out mediation or the party may directly file a divorce suit in a People’s Court. In dealing with a divorce case, the people’s court should carry out mediation; divorce shall be granted if mediation fails because mutual affection no longer exists. In any of the following circumstances, divorce shall be granted if mediation fails:
(I) Bigamy or cohabitation with another person;
(II) where one party indulges in family violence or maltreats or abandons family members;
or
(III) gambling, drug taking and other bad habits do not change after repeated education;
(IV) having separated from each other for two full years for lack of mutual affection;
(V) other circumstances leading to the shattering of affection between husband and wife. Where one party is declared to be missing and the other party starts divorce proceedings,
divorce shall be granted.
Where, after the People’s Court has made a judgment that divorce shall not be granted, both parties live apart for another year and one party files a divorce suit again, divorce shall be granted.
