Do couples need to go through automatic divorce procedures after being separated for eight years?

China's laws have never divorced automatically, and divorce must be handled.

There are only two ways to divorce: one is divorce by agreement; The second is litigation divorce.

If the husband and wife reach a divorce agreement on divorce, they can go directly to the marriage registration department for divorce registration, which will issue a divorce certificate.

If both parties can't reach a divorce agreement, they can't go to the marriage registration department for divorce registration. At this time, they can only sue the court for divorce, and the people's court will make a judgment.
