discuss Cool off time before divorce

[Oshawott]

In many countries, the law mandates that there should be a minimum cooling off period (of around 2 years) before which one can apply for divorce with courts statutorily barred from granting seperation in the first instance.

Do you think seperation must be restricted with such cooling periods and other statutory instruments?

Since divorce pushes men to pay alimony, I think there should be cooling period, either to get a divorce or to remarry after divorce. I see a lot of women get divorce in few months of being married, take the alimony and then start dating another guy soon after.

You mean cooling period for marriage for the woman receiving alimony after divorce?

But you see, the right to have a partner of your choice is also a significant part of right to live with dignity. How do we balance this with each other?

It is necessary to cool off before divorce takes place except if it's a toxic relationship. Sometimes when you make hasty decisions, you might go the wrong way and that is why cooling off is necessary. Sometimes, when I pick up a fight with my partner, I discover that those fights are not even necessary after cooling off.

How do the law identify toxic relationships?

Had it not been toxic, then there wouldnt be much divorce cases, right?

Those cool off periods has been somewhat magical for some couples. They tend to re-evaluate things within that period. I have seen people withdraw divorce applications together during the cool off period. It is wisdom not to grant divorce immediately a person approaches the court for it.

I think a cool-off period before divorce and remarriage is important. This will allow emotional healing and clear thinking. I believe couples can take several months to a year to reflect, seek counseling, and finalize legal matters before moving on.

I think a cool off period after a divorce application before it is granted was just the best part of the divorce process. There are people that had acted impulsively and applied for a divorce. That cool off period is a chance for such people to come their senses after they have become calm to make rational decision on proceeding with the divorce or not.
