My husband is an albanian national and we were married in Greece 4 years ago. We are amicable about divorcing and want to apply for divorce on the grounds of "irreconcilable differences". But when I google divorce proceedures in this country, it seems you can only choose one of 4/5 options to file for (adultery, 2 years separation etc) and cannot just divorce amicably without reason. Is this the case? If anyone has any experience or expert advice I would be very grateful! Oh, and how much does it cost?? Thanks in advance!

it may sound harsh but the simple way is unreasonable behaviour, they dont have to be bad stuff but things that count as unreasonable are, he devoted too much time to his carreer,you have no common interests or you both have very different social lives, these are grounds enough under english law.
u.k law is still based on victorian laws so infact its a judge who decides if u can or cant divorce, if you both have no children or assets like a house its quite simple and if thats the case do it online, you can get it for less than a hundred quid but its worth spending a little more and have what they call a managed divorce, where they check the paperwork before it goes to court
you will need your origional marraige certificate, not a copy and one thing for sure no certificate, no divorce, the court fees are £340 to get the decree nici through court and there is another fee for the decree absolute, again payable to the court, good luck

I am getting married in Greece, and to get it done over there is a lot more expensive. If I got it done here, we would get married four days after I got it. So I want to know if it will start to look bad by the time we get married.

it varies person to person. If you use your hands a lot, it’ll chip faster than someone that doesn’t.

It’s my DREAM to get married in Greece, on the beach, just him and me!

Now as far as hiring someone to make the travel arrangements, plan the wedding (just the two of us), and find an all-inclusive hotel to stay in for 9 days … Who would I need to contact to set it all up for us? The whole reason we are going off somewhere to get married is to cut down on the stress of planning a big party for 150 + people. I feel like it will be more intimate if we go just him and me (my parents did the same thing 25 years ago to Hawaii and said they wouldn’t change it for the world). Did anyone one here plan the same thing for their wedding?

Thanks so much!

You don’t need a planner or travel agent.

All you need is to book a place and have the ceremony.

Here is info on the marriage laws in Greece: http://www.greecetravel.com/weddings/embassy.html

They recommend that you get a license in your home state, and then have it amended to allow the marriage to be performed in Greece. A marriage license from the U.S. is valid in Greece provided it does not have restrictions on it.

Next find a place. I am not a fan of all inclusive resorts. They take all the fun out of traveling and fining interesting restuarants and experiences. Greece is a safe country. It is not like going to Jamaica where you want a wall around your resort. In Greece, you will have the best time, if you leave the resort and explore.

To find a place, I suggest VRBO.com. You can find private villas for not much money. Some of them on the islands overlook the Mediterranean Sea.

If you need a photographer, I might be available, and I also know several excellent greek photographers.

My daughter is 8 weeks old and has been diagnosed with sensory neural moderate hearing loss. In June 2012 my sister in law is getting married in Greece and would like us to go. I am in 2 minds. The thought of travelling with a baby, the pressure on her ears, her hearing aids and a 3am flight make me question whether to go or not. From what I understand, the plane won’t worsen her hearing(?). I just wanted peoples opinions on this. Another thing is we could do with saving the money its costing to go….. thoughts? X

if it wont worsen her hearing then just go. i mean…if theres nothing to lose why not?
would you should be worried about is if you can control your child on a flight. I hate those parents who cant control their children and bring them to places they shouldnt.

What do i need to do to get married in greece?

me and my partner are getting married in rhodes (greece) next yr and are not sure on what we need to do. i know we need a certificate of no impediment and our birth certificates and these need translating to greek. How do i get these translated? is there anything else we need to do?

Have a read here http://gogreece.about.com/gi/o.htm?zi=1/XJ&zTi=1&sdn=gogreece&cdn=travel&tm=25&f=00&tt=14&bt=1&bts=1&zu=http%3A//www.greecetravel.com/weddings/index.html

I had a civil marriage in Greece and got divorced many years ago, now i’m marrying in the church in italy and im concerned that the italian church will not allow me to marry because i was married before even though it was just a civil ceremony.
because they asked me for a state issued certificate of no impediment i wonder if the greek goverment will say on such document that i am divorced?
if you know of any websites where i can get the information please do let me know.

Dear Friend, You need to have a paper which shows you are divorced + you need to arrange a paper (document) which shows that you are still single after your divorce. Both has to be arrange from where you divorced. Hope this information helps you.
Or best way is to contact the municipality they will give you more info as well as help.
I wish you all the best.
Peace & Love

My dad and stepmom married in Greece, then moved to Arizona. My dad is a U.S. citizen, however my stepmom is not. They never registered their marriage in Arizona, and did not apply for my stepmom to become a U.S. Citizen. My stepmom filed for a divorce, and now lives in Texas. Would they still have to get a divorce as they never did register their marriage in the U.S. or Arizona?

yes they need a divorce.

In an orthodox church in Greece? My boyfriend is not very religious and he doesn’t know for sure.

First of all one has to be a Greek Orthodox (or Christian Orthodox in general). The other one has to be (if not an Orthodox too) Catholic or a Protestant. At least this is how it works here in Greece. But again it depends on the priest or the place you will choose to get married. Some priests may not allow you to get married if you are not both Orthodox. But as far as I know most of priests won’t have a problem with that. If you choose to get married in a Greek Orthodox church and you are not Orthodox you will have to sign some papers which oblige you to baptize your children from this marriage Orthodox.

Hope this helped you.
