Other Countries
In some entire countries, and in some jurisdictions,such as in Italy, an extended period of legal separation (for example, three years or five years) is required before a decree of full and divorce can be issued. This period of legal separation can be considered to be a part of the divorce procedure in some countries or some jurisdictions.
It needs to be noted that in some countries, the laws for marriage, separation, and divorce vary from state-to-state or province-to-province. Also, some countries, such as Russia, have large autonomous regions that make many of their own laws.
