Civil unions work like that over here. I could walk into town hall tomorrow and tell them I want to separate from my SO and all I need is my autograph, not even hers.
Marriage isn’t just a relationship, it’s a financial partnership. It’s complicated to dissolve because money and shared property are complicated. Fortunately it’s easy to avoid. Don’t get married, and if you want to end a relationship you can simply walk out the door without a word anytime you want.
I’ve currently been trying to get divorced for almost 12 months. My ex left me for someone else so you’d think it’d be an open and shut case but she’s also being belligerent within the legal process and drawing out the timeline.
I find it incredible how many hoops need jumping through in Australia just to not be legally bound to a cheating spouse.

What about assets and everything else that goes along with a relationship?
And that’s how it should work right? Nobody should be allowed to keep someone hostage in a “relationship”.
