Tacischal College and the Colonnaded Art Gallery are the centrepieces of this city which is sumptuously caressed by a sandy beech along its eastern border.
It’s a sad fact to swallow but 2 in 5 British marriages will end in divorce. For most people it’s bad enough when a relationship breaks down but when you factor in the division of assets and the welfare of children the enormity of the situation is all too apparent. The main legislation that covers divorce in England and Wales is the amended Matrimonial Causes Act, 1973.
The most widely used ground for divorce is that the marriage has broken down irretrievably. A court will only grant a divorce if it can be shown that the marriage has truly broken down. Evidence needs to be presented in writing showing any one of five Facts listed below;
- Adultery of the spouse.
- Unreasonable behaviour of your spouse.
- Two years desertion.
- Living apart from each other for two years with the other spouse consenting to the divorce.
- The couple have lived apart for five years (no consent needed).
Over 70% of divorces are granted on the grounds of adultery or unreasonable behaviour. The majority of people want a quick conclusion to the divorce rather than waiting for the 2 year separation period to expire.
