Apply for a divorce on the grounds of separation?

According to Hong Kong's divorce law, separation is one of the reasons for divorce:
  • Both parties agree to divorce, and it only takes one year to separate.
  • If the spouse disagrees with the divorce or the spouse disappears (equivalent to separation), it will take two years for the separation to be divorced.
Don’t get it wrong to think that "automatic divorce after two years of separation." If two people have been separated for two years, they still have to go to court and apply for a divorce order. The couple will not "automatically divorce."

If the spouse still lives together and has not separated, the separation as a reason for divorce does not exist and does not meet the requirements of the divorce law. However, most intentional divorces are when one party cannot voluntarily live with the other party, which is like paving the way for future divorce conditions.
