Minister is also to introduce measures on recognition of UK divorces due to Brexit threat

The Government has approved legislative proposals that will reduce the required separation period for couples who want to get divorced.Charlie Flanagan

The proposed one year period is in line with other minimum living apart periods for judicial separation applications. Due to the threat of a no-deal Brexit, Mr Flanagan is also to introduce measures on the recognition of divorces, legal separations, and annulments granted under UK law. In the run-up to the referendum, campaigners for change argued that the more than 4,000 couples that separate annually would be spared lengthy emotional and financial distress if there were quicker divorces in Ireland.
