Crossword Genius

A normal time to get divorced (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

apart

'divorced' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'a normal time' is the wordplay.
'normal' becomes 'par' (as in par for the course).
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'a'+'par'+'t'='APART'

'to get' is the link.

(Other definitions for apart that I've seen before include "In private" , "No longer living together" , "In pieces; separate" , "Separated physically" , "in bits" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
