a. Unreasonable Behaviour
You must establish that your spouse have behaved in such a way that you cannot reasonably be expected to live with him or her.
b. Adultery
You must prove beyond reasonable doubt that your spouse had engaged in a sexual intercourse with another person of the opposite sex and that you find it intolerable to live with your spouse.
c. Two Year Separation
You must prove that you and your spouse have been living apart, for a continuous period of at least two years before the filing of the petition.
d. Desertion
You must establish that your spouse has deserted you for a continuous period of at least two years before the filing of the petition.
You must first refer your marital problems to marriage tribunal and attend to three counselling sessions in JPN at the district you registered your marriage or last stayed together. At the end of 3 counselling sessions, the tribunal will issue a certificate confirming that the parties could not be reconciled.
The tribunal will cancel the counselling sessions and you will need to apply for an exemption from referring to the marriage tribunal in Court. Upon obtaining the exemption from Court, you may file the Unilateral Divorce Petition in Court.
No. You can file your divorce in Johor or in the High Court nearest to you if you and your spouse are living in different states or towns.
The Court will provide a case management date and the petition shall be served to your spouse. Your spouse will have 8 days from the date of receipt to appoint solicitors to act for him and enter appearance.
The Court will then give your spouse 21 days to file a reply defending the allegations in your petition. Once all the necessary documents have been filed in court, the court will fix a hearing date and the parties will be given the opportunity to prove their claims and allegations during the hearing. The Court will assess the evidences given and decide accordingly.
So long as your spouse has been duly served with the divorce papers and has been informed of the hearing date, the Court will proceed with the petition as an undefended matter and grant you the divorce and the orders you prayed for.
