No. There must be 12 full months of separation. The divorce application can only be sworn the day after the anniversary of that event. In some instances, you can shorten the time for the pronouncing of a decree absolute. This period is a month in normal circumstances. If this is of concern to you, you should obtain legal advice on what to do.
