The rule says:
1)If you are using separation as grounds for your divorce, then you must be separated from your spouse for a minimum of one full year.
2)If during this one year separation period you and your spouse get back together, this reconciliation will not affect your one year separation period unless you are back together for a period, or multiple periods, equaling more than 90 days.
3)If you do reconcile for a period of or exceeding 90 days and then separate again, you will be required to begin a new full one year separation period before a divorce can be granted.
Those are the rules, which are clear enough for the one year separation period. Now, the question arises as to how to apply these rules for separation longer than one year, say 10 years. More specifically, how to apply the 90 days reconciliation period, is it for the whole 10 year separation period, for example, or is it applied separately to each year of separation?
In other words, if you attempt reconciliation once per year for the 10 year separation period, but not exceeding 90 days per year, are you still considered separated, or does the 90 days rule also apply to the whole 10 year separation period?
Any comments and or feedback on this is appreciated. Thank you.
