It just took 70 seconds for the couple to end their marriage of 20 years. When Gary Lineker, the presenter of ‘The match of the day’ divorced his wife Michelle, it was unlike other celebrity divorces which are usually accompanied by clashes over the financial settlement. It was probably one of the quickest divorces ever.
Going through a divorce proceeding is usually an agonising experience for a couple, and even for the person who has filed it. This emotional pain is prolonged most of the times due to a lengthy divorce process. Quickie divorces, as the name suggests, is a fast way of getting a divorce so that you can carry on with your life.
The Process Involved
There are two kinds of divorce proceedings: contested and uncontested. A contested divorce involves a lot of complications with the couple finding difficulty in reaching common terms. It might take years to settle these kinds of divorce proceedings. In the second type, the decision to divorce and the conditions surrounding it are not challenged by the spouse. Quickie divorces are possible only in the case of an uncontested divorce.
When a person files for divorce in the court of law, the court serves the petition to the spouse. When the divorce is uncontested, the judge takes a look at the grounds for divorce, financial arrangement between the couple and information pertaining to the child custody. If the judge is contented with all the legal papers and arrangements, he grants 'the Decree Nisi'. After six weeks and one day of receiving this, the couple can apply for ‘The Decree Absolute’, which is the final stage of dissolution of the marriage. Although in some cases, like the one of Gary Lineker mentioned above where a quickie divorce is granted within seconds, it normally would take at least two months for a quickie divorce to come through.
