In Jamaica, once a couple has been separated for at least one year and the marriage has irretrievably broken down, they may begin the process of filing for divorce. If the other party does not object and all documents are in order, the process usually proceeds smoothly. Reaching a mutual agreement to separate can further simplify the process.
