How do I show the marriage has broken down ?
The law says you may be able to get a divorce if you can show one of the following:
1.Your partner has slept with someone else and you find it difficult to carry on living with him or her ("adultery").
2. Your partner has behaved in a way that makes you think you can't carry on living together ("unreasonable behaviour").
3. You and your partner have been separated for at least 2 years before you started the divorce and your partner agrees that you should both divorce.
4. You and your partner have been separated for at least 5 years before you started the divorce, (your partner does not have to agree to the divorce).
5. Your partner has deserted you at least 2 years before you started the divorce.
Your solicitor can help you decide which of these is the best one for your case.
What if we can't carry on living together, but we don't want a divorce ?
