I'm divorcing my abusive ex on the grounds of unreasonable behaviour. He refused to partake in much parenting, criticised me and called me names, was controlling and jealous and sexually coercive. How specific do I need to be in the divorce papers about his behaviour? Can I put "he was controlling, examples being x, y and z" or do I need to cite specific incidents like "he wa controlling, examples being x, y and z, as demonstrated my his behaviour on 3/3/13 when he blah blah blah"?
Also, the form for the arrangements for the children, how specific does that need to be? At the minute I'm getting a token fiver a week from his benefits, but he's supposed to have a job starting soon, do I need to put that we will re negotiate depending on income? Or just that he is paying the amount recommened by the online calculator? The children live with me, but do I new to apply separately for a residency order? They only see their dad for 2 hours per week, again, I'm willing to negotiate as circumstances change, what do I write on the form?
I never reported the abuse to anyone so I am not entitled to any legal aid, and I'm on benefits so I can't afford a solicitor, so I need to do this myself. He's keen to divorce now, and says he will sign the papers whatever I write, just to get it sorted quickly.
