How do I get separated?

You can demand separation without agreeing

In Denmark, each spouse has a unilateral right to legal separation. This means that if a spouse believes that he/she cannot continue the marriage, he/she can demand a separation even without giving a reason for it.

Divorce immediately if the parties agree, 6 months if they disagree

Divorce can be demanded immediately if the parties agree to divorce.

After 6 months, each spouse is entitled to a divorce, regardless of whether the other spouse disagrees.

However, remember that you are not automatically divorced after 6 months, it is always necessary to apply.
