Frequently Asked Questions

We’ve compiled answers to frequently asked questions to help you understand the divorce process.

In Jamaica, the sole legal ground for divorce is the “irretrievable breakdown of the marriage.” This is primarily proven by demonstrating that you and your spouse have been separated for a continuous period of at least twelve (12) months immediately preceding the filing of the divorce petition. It’s important to note that separation can even occur while living in the same home, provided you lead separate lives.

The duration of a divorce in Jamaica can vary depending on whether it is contested or uncontested. An uncontested divorce, where both parties agree on all matters, can often be finalized within 6 to 12 months. Contested divorces, involving disputes over issues like child custody or property, can take longer as they require more court intervention and negotiation. Our aim is always to achieve the most efficient resolution possible.

While it’s technically possible to file for divorce without legal representation, it is highly recommended to engage a qualified divorce lawyer in Jamaica. The process involves specific legal procedures, documentation, and court appearances (even if only by affidavit). A lawyer ensures all legal requirements are met, protects your rights, and helps navigate complex issues like child custody, property division, and spousal support, ensuring the best possible outcome for you.

 

In Jamaica, the division of marital property is governed by the Property (Rights of Spouses) Act. This Act generally presumes an equal (50/50) split of the family home and other marital assets between spouses, regardless of direct financial contribution. However, the court can vary this equal share in certain circumstances. Our attorneys are skilled in ensuring a fair and equitable division of all assets and liabilities.

“Alimony” or “spousal maintenance” refers to financial support paid by one spouse to the other after a divorce. It is not automatically granted and is determined based on various factors outlined in the Maintenance Act, including each party’s needs and resources, the length of the marriage, age, health, earning capacity, and standard of living during the marriage. Our team can help you understand your rights and obligations regarding spousal maintenance.
