i decided to get divorce and he decided too, cause we intend to marry.
but the problem is in germany as i know it takes time to get divorced for about one year. he is christian and he told me he needs one year to be 100% free.

Hi.

I'll try to answer some of your questions from what I know. I'm not a lawyer, but I am an American living in Germany. My boyfriend is also married but they are trying to get a divorce now.

Yes, for an uncontested (both agree to get divorced) there is a 1 year separation requirement. They do NOT need to have 2 different addresses though! If the divorce is contested (one doesn't want a divorce), the wait is *3* years! Crazy I think!

To marry in Germany is a long process. I don't have time to write everything here today though. You need a LOT of documents which must be original and translated into German.

The only legal marriage is a civil marriage--not a church wedding. If you want to church wedding, you can, but only the civil marriage is legally binding. Also, many christian churches will marry you even though you are not Christian.. NOT all though!

Hope I have helped a little bit!
