In Kenya, a spouse may file for divorce even a few months after separation, as there is no minimum separation period required by law; however, the court must be satisfied that the marriage has irretrievably broken down. Reach out to us, we can help you demonstrat this through facts such as separation, desertion, cruelty, or adultery, and the case can proceed even if the separation has only lasted four months.
