In order to prove irretrievable breakdown there has to be either a 2-year separation with consent, a 5-year separation without consent, 2 years desertion or allegations of unreasonable behaviour or adultery.
Incompatibility is not acceptable on its own as a basis for divorce.
The grounds for the dissolution of a civil partnership are the same except for the omission of adultery.
The process takes approximately 4 - 5 months, as long as both parties cooperate, and is usually achieved without the need for court appearances.

These are agreements made by couples before and after marriage, covering all sorts of issues including detailed finance and sometimes behaviour.
They are sometimes referred to as simply 'prenups' or 'postnups'.
There is no statutory recognition of these agreements yet, but such contracts are increasingly more reliable when divorce proceedings are subsequently initiated.
This particularly applies to older couples with children by previous partners, and those with financial resources which significantly exceed any reasonable needs of both.
