    IMO it should be 1 year, or 1.5 max, Been living separate lives for years since married. Seperate arrangements by the choice of the other party from almost immediately after getting married, whatever of abusive husbands, women are equally capable of that and manipulation. While I thought it might be possible to work out, now completely separate lives, no intention of ever getting married again, but I'm now tied to a person for another potentially 5 years, even 2 is too much and the state now seem to be suggesting dragging their feet on implementing that. The only thing stopping me making enquiries now is the 2 years and the fear of getting shafted as the person who entered the relationship financially solvent and with a property.

    I think it should be more a case of 4 years, and by mutual consent the court can take it down to a shorter period to a minimum of 2 years.

    This is a terrible idea tbh and would just result in people using it vindictively to punish the other as much as they can.

    this would have been a perfect time to allow pre-nups too but they missed that boat.

    Definitely should be reduced to a year , I know so many men who have had themselves emotionally and financially drained for years just trying to move on with their lives.

    I agree 4 years is not unreasonable, some couple could divorce before this, but not not all. I think it should be more a case of 4 years, and by mutual consent the court can take it down to a shorter period to a minimum of 2 years.
    ...so the constitution still requires the amendment to be passed!
