No automatic divorce. According to the laws and regulations of our country, if the relationship between the two parties is broken, they can directly go through the divorce procedures. If the two parties cannot reach an agreement on the division of property, child rearing, etc., they can sue to the court for divorce.
The law does not stipulate how long the separation lasts. No matter how long the separation lasts, if neither party applies for divorce, the marriage will not be dissolved automatically. If the lawsuit goes to the court for divorce and the separation lasts for two years, the court will support the divorce.
Legal basis:
Article 1076 of the Civil Code [Divorce by agreement] If the couple divorce voluntarily, they shall sign a written divorce agreement and apply for divorce registration in person at the marriage registration office.
The divorce agreement shall specify the intention of both parties to divorce voluntarily and the consensus on matters such as child rearing, property and debt handling.
