There are different types of divorces depending on whether both spouses are in agreement or not in fact want to divorce. The length and cost of the judicial process varies depending on this.

Divorce by mutual agreement

It takes from three months of the marriage celebration. It's enough that both spouses or one of them, with consent of the other, filed the petition for divorce accompanied by a regulatory agreement.

This process is shorter and less costly than litigation. Although required services of solicitor, spouses can share legal representation.

Divorce Litigation

It can be requested by one of the spouses, three months after the marriage without the other's consent and without having to rely on any ground whatsoever. The time will be reduced if there was any risk to the life, physical integrity or similar.

It is presented to a court for divorce against the other spouse, and a proposal relating to child custody and the division of property.

Other types of broken marriages

There are other types of broken marriages other than divorce. So much separation as nullity civilian possibilities are allowed by law as ways of separation or dissolution of marriage.

Before the separation was a mandatory prior to the request for divorce. These solutions also have economic consequences similar to divorce and family.

Separation

Today it is no longer a mere formality prior to the divorce, that possibility still exists. The separation marks the end of cohabitation, but does not dissolve the marriage.

Legal separation can occur by mutual agreement or so contentious. In the first case, to submit their application for separation is necessary to attach a convention regulator.

Civil Nullity

It involves the dissolution of marriage, but it is anticipated that it has never existed. The court annulled the act as a result of knowing that their conclusion there was some fundamental flaw or defect.

This happens, for example, if one spouse was forced or was previously married. The decision does not affect the children, if any, or the spouse who acted in good faith, it shall be entitled to receive pensions.
