Legal basis: Article 1079 of the Civil Code states that if one of the spouses requests a divorce, the relevant organization can mediate or directly file a divorce lawsuit with the people's court.
When trying divorce cases, the people's court shall conduct mediation; If the relationship has indeed broken down and mediation is ineffective, divorce should be granted.
In any of the following circumstances, if mediation fails, divorce shall be granted:
(a) bigamy or cohabitation with others;
(2) committing domestic violence or abusing or abandoning family members;
(three) gambling, drug abuse and other bad habits;
(four) separated for two years due to emotional discord;
(5) Other circumstances that lead to the breakdown of the marriage relationship.
If one party is declared missing and the other party files a divorce lawsuit, the divorce shall be granted.
After the people's court ruled that divorce is not allowed, if the two parties have separated for one year and one party files a divorce lawsuit again, divorce shall be granted.
