So England and Wales have had no fault divorce since 1969, which caused a massive uptick in divorce, although you had to prove separation before 2020. Which would explain why things were so smooth for our 2022 divorce (proceedings started 2021 after separation in 2019, decree final delayed by having to wrestle a financial order through the courts, which was not smooth)
I suppose the point here is that was still having to prove separation to the satisfaction of some arbitrary judge (who may or may not read your submission correctly, like the one sitting on our financial order) rather than your word being sufficient.
