Hi all, Im new here and I recently ordered the managed divorce service. I am now trying to list the grounds for Unreasonable behaviour. My soon to be ex is happy to go ahead with everything and not contest it as long as it doesnt make him "look bad". Here are some lists I showed to the expert I am corresponding with for the divorce service, which he thought are too general and need to be more detailed.

* Inability to manage or resolve conflict
* Personality Differences or ‘irreconcilable differences’
* Differences in personal and career goals
* Financial problems
* Different expectations about household tasks
* Different expectations about having or rearing children
* Intellectual Incompatibility
* Sexual Incompatibility
* Insistence of sticking to traditional roles and not allowing room for personal growth
* Falling out of love
* Religious conversion or religious beliefs
* Cultural and lifestyle differences

Any help would be much appreciated.

Your reasons need to be on the lines of
the Respondant did/was/said blah blah blah which made the Petitioner feel xyz,
take a look at this old post for ideas, and do a search on site for unreasonable behaviour

Hope this helps

Hi,
If you type in Unreasoable Behaviour in the google custom search on this site you'll find what has been used in other petitions.
as an example

Respondant refused to share in normal household duties or take part in the day to day running of the household

What you should also do is to sit down with your s2bx and try and agree what you are going to put, it can be pretty emotive if the first he knows about what you have put is a letter from the courts...

Unfortunatly to an extent by its very nature Unreasonable Behaviour has to make someone look significantly less than perfect.
The option is always open for him to accept the marriage has broken down but disagee with the reasons given.

right heres my two pennith ... its late and ive had a glass or two of merlot...

Inability to manage or resolve conflict= the respondent and I find ourselves frequently arguing without any resolve. This causes great distress to the petitioner

* Personality Differences or ‘irreconcilable differences’.. the Petitioner feels that the respondent does not wish to partake in any activities the petitioner enjoys. The Respondent does not include the petitioner in any social activities he partakes. This leaves the petitioner feeling isolated within the marriage.

* Differences in personal and career goals The Petitioner does not feel supported in their career progression, often resulting in arguments.

* Financial problems - (leave this out unless hes at the casino every night!!)

* Different expectations about household tasks - the respondent does not assist with household chores leaving it to the sole responsibility of the Petitioner. This often cause great tension, resulting in arguments.

* Different expectations about having or rearing children.. (needs further explanation)

* Intellectual Incompatibility (leave out)

* Sexual Incompatibility (depends what the situation)

* Insistence of sticking to traditional roles and not allowing room for personal growt ?? how old are kids etc??

* Falling out of love - not really ub is it.

* Religious conversion or religious beliefs.. have these changed from when you were first married ..ie has he changed faith since marriage ..??

* Cultural and lifestyle differences - thats far to ambiguous.. elaborate

remember at the end of the day as long as you are both going to agree that the marriage has broken down irretrievably you dont really need to go on an on.. four or five reasons will do as long as you put that you cannot be reasonable expected to live with the behaviour here and there and he will agree to sign
