Divorce petition my reasons is this ok

Just doing my divorce petition and I wnated to check if my reasons sound ok and are worded correctly or are they to detailed. Any help would be great please?

Unreasonable behaviour

1) The respondant now shows no affection towards the petitioner and has no sexual interest in the petitioner has caused the petitioner to feel low self esteem

2) Respondant prefers to spend much of his free time in private persuits

3) The respondant does not share any house hold tasks or take any home responsibilities . This makes the petitioner feel used and taken for granted.

4)The Respondant is financially irresponsible, does not contribute to the joint household bills . This makes the petitioner used.

5) The respondant is over controlling, this has made it difficult for the petitioner to see friends. The respondant makes the petitioner feel gulity by being moody,and silent

6) The respondant has become moody, controlling and over critical of the petitioner often making nasty remarks

7) The respondant is verbally abusive to the petititioner


Is this too much or not enough, I have tried to make it not sounds as bad as it has been.

Thank you for any help anyone can give. I just want to know if this will be enought to get the petition through!!!!

It's very good. Only four or five reasons are necessary and the only things would be to be as specific as you can about the episodes of behaviour and dates. If behaviour has been ongoing through the marriage you will be seen to have condoned the behaviour and it is hard to justify it as intolerable to live with. You could say since [pick a month in the last 6 months] the behviour has been ongoing.

thanks fiona,
i was wondering wether to bother including the last bit about his verbal abuse after the date i left the mh . but his behaviour has made it impossible now for me to even speak to him without someone with me as he is so intimidating and abusive. he is also seeing someone else but if what i have written is sufficient i would rather not mention that as he has said he may not sign and may defend.he has said he intends to make my life as miserable as possible for the next 5 yrs

If he wishes to defend it will cost him money so he will suffer too.

stbf,

I would go with Fi's advice...wont get any more solid than that...stay with recent events pre separation.

He might object to adultery being cited because he fears involving the third party or some sort of financial penalty. In an unreasonable behaviour petition you might say he had an inappropriate relationship with another woman which is less threatening. Whatever is the most straight forward, there is no point is wasting time and money arguing about the divorce - save your time and energy for sorting the finances.
