Divorce amicable reasons for unreasonable behaviour

8 replies

Hi,
'D'H and I are getting a divorce. We're doing it on grounds of unreasonable behaviour as he won't admit adultery and I can't be bothered/have the money to fight him on that ground. I'm divorcing him myself. Examples of his unreasonable behaviour are drinking, gambling, staying out until all hours, ignoring me at home, and not bothered with our baby etc. We are fairly amicable and want to do this between ourselves. Our finances and contact are otherwise agreed. I'm just a bit stuck on the wording for his unreasonable behaviour. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Just as you've put!

Thanks RedHelenB, I read online I needed to word it a certain way to ensure the Judge approves it?

Thank you familylawsolicitor (sorry don't know how to make that bold).

Unfortunately UK, unlike some Countries, does not allow the irreconcilable differences ground for reason for divorce. So one partner has to blame the other for something. Unreasonable behaviour is the most common to use as it can be anything you wish to list.

That sucks. Why can't 'we just don't love each other or want to be married' be a reason?
