You need to show to the court that your partner behaved in such a way that you ‘could not reasonably be expected to continue to live with him/her’. It is not a question of ‘nobody could be expected to live with this person’ but of you not being able to. It’s the effect on you that’s important here. If the effect is being bored or a bit irritated with your partner or fed up with being married, that is not enough; the behaviour has to have a strong, negative effect on you. More

If you want to rely on this fact, you must show that your partner had sex with another person and that you find it intolerable to continue to live with him/her because of this. If you have lived with your partner for six months after finding out about the adultery, you cannot use this fact, because you’re presumed to have forgiven him/her. The important thing here is the date of your knowledge, not the date of the adultery. For example, if your partner had sex with another person 5 years ago and you found out last week, you can still use this fact in your divorce petition. If, on the other hand, your partner had sex with another person 7 months ago, told you about it at the time and has been faithful since, you cannot use this fact­ you’re presumed to have forgiven him/her. More

You must have lived apart for a period of 2 years and both agree to the divorce. If you have been living apart but had brief periods of living together, you may still be able to use this fact, provided you didn’t live together for more than 6 months and the total time from first separating to starting divorce proceedings amounts to 2 years plus any time you lived together. More

You and your partner must have lived apart for a period of 5 years. In this case, your partner’s consent is not necessary. More

You have to show that your partner has left you with the intention of not returning and has done so without your consent. More



We also have packs of documents to deal with financial matters, enabling you to start living the independent life you want. More
