Evening,
New to the forum but I’ve scouted everywhere and can’t find an answer that really relates to my question. So sorry if this has been asked before but I want to make sure I get this right.

Background is that my Wife left me for someone else but would not agree to adultery so in order to get the ball rolling we agreed that I would apply for divorce citing unreasonable behaviour. I finished my reasoning in my Petition by saying that we separated, during this time it became apparent that she is now in a long term relationship with someone else, our relationship is irreconcilable and I find it impossible to contemplate living with her.

So, that out of the way, I’m struggling with this D80B form.

Q5) Is the respondent’s behaviour as set out in your petition continuing?

She is living with the bloke now so that must be a yes, right? Or because we have separated does that make it no? And by that point, do I write the date we agreed to separate below?

On the 4th and final page, I’ve filled out my name, address and job title, do I tick the “swear on oath”, “affirm” or both boxes underneath?

And then which out of the three boxes below do I tick and put her printed signature in?

Lastly, the separated section at the bottom with SWORN/AFFIRMED at…..where do I take that to get signed etc?

Sorry for all the questions, it all seems overly-complicated to me and I just want to get this whole thing done and dusted.

Thanks

'swear to oath' is swear on the bible or your holy book of choice. 'Affirm' is the non-religious version of confirming to the court that the document is true. It depends if you are religious or not.

You can take the document to a solicitor or to the county court to have it sworn or affirmed. A soliitor charges £5 plus £2 for every exhibit for a swear/affirmation.

I would guess that the unreasonable behaviour is continuing although I'm not sure what the allegations were so it is difficult to say. If one of the allegations was inappropriate relationship with another person then it is continuing.

In relation to page 4 you need to take heed of the text in the margins. If you are attaching the Acknowledgement of Service, you have to confirm that the signature is that of your spouse. The same goes for the statement of arrangements if there is one.
