Can I get divorced without my spouse's consent?

Family Law

Yes, but the spouse seeking unilateral divorce must rely on a ground recognized by the Civil Code. Sections 94 and 95 contain separate statutory grounds available to husbands and wives.

The court examines the pleaded ground and evidence rather than granting unilateral divorce merely because one spouse asks for it.
