ADVICE
You don’t need permission from the other spouse to get divorced.
You only need to satisfy the court that grounds for divorce exist.
To start the divorce process, there are procedures, by law, that need to be followed.
You need to issue a summons that will serve to notify the other spouse of your intention. According to the law, even if you separate, you are still legally married.
