In Scotland, there are two primary grounds for divorce:
One: Irretrievable Breakdown of Marriage
This is the leading cause for divorce in Scotland. Evidence includes a partner’s adultery, separations lasting one year with spousal consent or two years without and instances of “Unreasonable behaviour” like emotional harm or chronic gambling.
Two: Gender Recognition
The secondary ground for divorce in Scotland arises when an interim gender recognition certificate is procured by one of the parties.
