To get a divorce, you will need to apply to the BC Supreme Court.
The court will grant your divorce if you (or your spouse) have lived in this province for one year or more, and can demonstrate that your marriage has broken down.
To establish marriage breakdown, you (or your spouse) will need to show:
* that you have lived apart - been separated - for at least one year, or
* that one of you committed adultery, or
* that one of you was physically and/or mentally cruel to the other.
Many people prefer to ask for a divorce based on a one-year separation, rather then trying to prove adultery or cruelty (which can be difficult and time-consuming - which means your legal costs could be high).
If you decide to use the fact of your separation as your reason for divorce, you can apply to the court any time after you separate, but the court will not grant your divorce until you have been separated for one year.
