Para disolver el matrimonio por divorcio es preciso que haya sentencia que así lo declare. Los efectos del divorcio se producen a partir del momento en que dicha sentencia es firme. [...] La sentencia de divorcio ha de fundarse en alguna de las causas legales de divorcio. En términos generales, dichas causas pueden reconducirse a dos supuestos: el cese de la convivencia conyugal, que admite diversas variantes en función de las circunstancias y los plazos, y la condena firme de uno de los cónyuges por atentar contra la vida del otro, sus ascendientes o descendientes. 1, record 1, Spanish, - divorcio
