To get a divorce, you must show that your marriage has broken down. The law says a marriage is broken if at least one of these apply:

- Your spouse has committed adultery and you have not forgiven your spouse.
- Your spouse has been physically or mentally cruel to you such that living together is intolerable.
Also expect quite a lot of scrutiny on your soonsorship if you got divorced soon after receiving PR and then sponsored another spouse quickly thereafter. The way you have phrased it makes it seem you are ready to sponsor again. Were you separated before you received PR?
