Recently, the Ministry of Justice has begun to make major adjustments in the conditions set for adjudication of divorce proceedings under the Family Provisions of the Civil Code. Besides situations such as bigamy, adultery, abuse, and abandonment, couples can now file for divorce in the event of any serious incidents which make living together impossible, or if the husband and wife have not cohabited for five years or more.
近日法務部將對民法親屬篇裁判離婚的條件進行大幅修正，除了重婚、與配偶以外之人合意性交、不堪同居之虐待、惡意遺棄等情形外，夫妻因婚姻破裂而有難以維持共同生活之重大事由，或夫妻不共同生活達五年以上者，雙方都可以提請離婚。
