    Caribbean men can become more responsible parents by providing financial support, spending quality time with children, not having more children than they can support, assisting the mother, being good role models, attending parenting classes, and jointly planning children's futures. Divorce laws have changed to make it easier for couples to divorce. Previously, one partner had to prove fault by the other, but now a partner simply must provide evidence the marriage has broken down irretrievably without needing to prove fault. The partner must show they lived separately for at least 12 continuous months before applying for divorce. If married less than 2 years, the court must be satisfied additional conditions are met.

    Laws related to divorce

    A divorce is the legal termination of a legal marriage.It is the only legal way of
    ending a marriage. An annulment on the other hand , is the cancellation of a
    marriage on the grounds that isnt legal.
    For eg, the partner may be closely related to each other or in a society that practice
    monogamy ,one partner may still be married to a previous partner. A legal
    separation is the separation of married partners by an order of the court. It gives
    married partners the right to live soerate and apart from each other. Desertion
    occurs when one of the partners leaves the othes without indending to return.
    Many changes have been made to divorce laws which have had the effect of
    making it easier for couple to be granted a divorce. The early legislstion gave the
    parties to a marriage the right to seek a divorce if one partners had to do wrong the
    other partners and this had to proven in court.
    The conditions under which divorce may be granted
    it is no longer necessary for a party to the marriage to prove that a matrimonial
    offence had been commited against him/her. A partner simply has to provide
    evidence that the marrisge had broken down and that the relationship is not likely
    to improve

    The partner have to provide proof to the court that they had separate and
    live and apart for a continuous period of not less than 12 twelve months
    before the date of filing the application of the divorce.
    Where the partners have been married less than 2 two years the date on
    which the application was filled, the court will not hear the application unless
    it is satisfied
