Determining Grounds for divorce;
In England and Wales there are officially five specific grounds for filing for divorce, with the majority brought because of the irretrievable breakdown of the marriage through ‘unreasonable behaviour’ by either party.
In order to obtain a divorce, you are required by law to prove on of the following:
* That your partner has committed adultery. * Unreasonable behaviour. * That your partner has deserted, for at least two years. * That you have been separated for two years and both parties want the divorce. * That you have lived apart for five years, in this case consent from the ‘other’ party is not required.
