how do you go about proving that someone has been emotionally abusing as part of a divorce?

I don't want it to be I say he did something and he says he didn't.

It's very difficult. Emotional abuse, almost by definition, is about psychological control. Tends to be a sustained campaign of small stuff - criticism, pettiness, isolation, restriction, jealousy, insults - designed to crush the spirit rather than anything more substantial that leaves an evidence trail.

What kinds of things happened? Have you been asked to prove emotional abuse?
