In Germany, married couples are allowed to divorce. They usually have to observe the 'year of separation' for this. What does that mean?
- A The divorce process takes one year.
- B The spouses are married for one year, then divorce is possible.
- C The visitation rights for the children apply for one year.
- D The spouses live separately for at least one year. After that, divorce is possible. ✓ Correct answer
Explanation
The year of separation means spouses must live apart for at least one year before a divorce can proceed, to show that the marriage has broken down.
Tips
- Trennungsjahr is about living apart, not about how long the divorce process itself takes.
- It has nothing to do with how long the couple was married or with visitation rights for children.
