Question

Is it true, that in Italy you have to wait three years to get a divorce?

Answer 1

Unfortunately, it's true.

You have to go to the Court to separate, then you have to wait three years (in the past, it was five) This law was a compromise, the only way to eliminate the resistance of the catholic parties that struggle against divorce.

Moreover,  if husband and wife do not agree to get the dovorce, you have tostart a trial, and it will takes another three-four years

Answer 2

i dunno but they sure love spaghetti and cheese

Answer 3

If it is; I'm glad I'm not in ITALY !!!!!

Answer 4

Three years is the the separation time necessary before you can apply to the court for the actual end of the marriage assuming that there is a mutual agreement to the divorce. Then you have to wait for the judge's decision - usually about a month, but it could be more. If the divorce is contested, it generally takes much longer.
