The average current-account relationship lasts 17 years, while the average British marriage which ends in divorce lasts just 11 years and six months.
Among adults 25 and older who had been divorced, 52 percent of men and 44 percent of women were currently married. On average, people who remarry typically wed again in about three-and-a-half years. Second marriages that end in divorce last about 8.6 years for men and 7.2 years for women.
“Unreasonable behaviour” is the most common ground for divorce in UK divorce law. Petitioners must show that one of the parties to the marriage has behaved in such an unreasonable manner that the other finds it intolerable to live with him or her, and as a result the marriage has irretrievably broken down.

A Divorce certificate is also referred to as a Decree Absolute, Divorce Certificate, Divorce Affidavit, Legal Decree, or Divorce Absolute.
You will receive a fully certified legal copy of a Decree Absolute, suitable for official purposes.
Reasons you may require a replacement certificate are:
You have
lost
your decree absolute, or you need a
replacement,
you've been married or in a civil partnership before so you'll need evidence you're
free to remarry
or enter a
new civil partnership,
or you require an
extra copy
or even to find out whether a
friend or relative
has been divorced.
