Everyone has their own private reasons for getting a divorce, however, the breakdown of the marriage is the only legal reason needed to get a divorce in Canada. If you have lived apart from your partner for over one year this is enough evidence under Canada Divorce Law to prove that the marriage has broken down. The reasons for a divorce do not affect the way custody, access and support to children is decided or the way that property is divided. Divorcing on the grounds of a one year separation is the cheapest and easiest way to file for a divorce in Canada. If she can prove that she has been living under the same roof as her husband for a year but leading a separate life this will also qualify her for a divorce.
