Legal Definitions - convertible divorce

Convertible divorce is a type of divorce that is granted after the parties have signed a separation agreement and have lived separately for a certain period of time. It is also known as a conversion divorce or conditional divorce.

For example, if a couple decides to separate and sign a separation agreement, they may choose to convert their separation into a divorce after a year of living apart. This type of divorce is often less contentious than a contested divorce, as the parties have already agreed on the terms of their separation.
