Hi there,
Does anyone know the procedure for divorce (British Columbia)?
Married in 2006 in BC; have been separated since May 2008 in Australia.
According to the AG's website, you must have lived in BC for one year in order to divorce.
"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."
We moved to Australia six months after our marriage. We meet the separation criteria but not the residency.
In addition, our marriage is not recognized in Australia as it is a same-sex marriage. So, if there is any sort of option to file here, it is now not possible as our marriage is not recognized by the Australian authorities.
Any help would be appreciated. I suppose I should really be talking to a divorce lawyer.
Thanks.
