A Summary Of The Various Grounds For Divorce
by Alaric Sowerby
If ever you would like to divorce your husband or wife, you should have a very good explanation. The court will not terminate your marriage just because you claimed you do not like to be wedded to your spouse for no reason whatsoever. The termination of marriage shall be decided by the judge based on the reasons issued by the petitioner. So now, let's go over the grounds for divorce.
Adultery is definitely a strong ground for divorce yet one must establish that the other party committed adultery before the court. It is actually much easier if the offending party admits they did engage in affairs with another person. However, the proof that the other has sexual affairs with someone else may be hard to obtain. On the other hand, adultery may not be used as a ground if it turns out your spouse engages in homosexual relationships while you are together. In this situation, a different ground for divorce could be used.
Unreasonable behavior is yet another ground which may be used to sustain a divorce case. If it's difficult to live with your partner due to their inappropriate behavior, you can apply for a quick divorce. Remain objective in summarizing your disappointment mainly because if you're way too sensitive, that may get in the way of smooth dialogues in the future. The court could assess the magnitude of the inappropriate behavior of the annoying spouse. You need to be ready to have a strong, compelling reason that your partner's behavior has created hostility in your marriage.
Desertion is another ground for divorce. In the event that your husband or wife leaves you for over 2 years without valid reason and without your permission, that could be desertion. And you can decide to end your marriage with their absence.
A related scenario is separation and there are actually 2 kinds of separation under the divorce law. Two(2) years of separation suggests that you and your spouse have lived in different homes for over 2 years. This is actually a great ground for divorce, especially when both of you prefer a quick divorce. The other phrase for this is no-fault divorce.
One more kind of separation is one that occurs for more than five years and thus it's called five year separation. The other party might not consent a divorce but it's not anymore important. When you file for divorce, the other can will no longer defend the plea.
In many cases, the very first two reasons are being used by petitioners because you don't need to wait for several years of separation to be able to file for a petition. Divorce procedure could be made faster if both you and your partner consent to the ending of your marriage bond. Even when you apply adultery or hostile behavior of the other as grounds, it will always be a plus if both of you are in agreement that your relationship has deteriorated beyond repair.
