I am going down the diy divorce route and am in the process of completing the forms for 2 yr separation. I am struggling what to put in the statement of case section. My ex told me at the end of january 2010 that she no longer loved me and that the marriage had been a mistake. Previous to this we had had argued about one thing and another and were clearly no longer compatable. She then moved into the spare room and stated that she was going to move out as soon as possible. We led completely separate lives, not speaking or eating together and total lack of communication. She eventually moved out in may and we have continued to live separate lives. It later transpired that she had been having an affair with a married man from work and then moved in together but it didn''t last. Was unable to go down the adultery route as she would not agree. Will the following statement be acceptable for 2 yr seperation

"On the 1st february 2010 My wife stated that she no longer loved me and our marriage had irretrivably broken down due to continuous arguments and disagreements and she wished to separate. From that date she moved into a separate room and we each lived a full and separate lives not speaking or eating together. My wife then moved out on the 11th may 2010 and we have continued to live seperate lives. My wife has stated that she consents to this divorce.

Any help/comments would be much appreciated.

I think you''re on the right lines but your wife must confirm that she agrees to the divorce. This is usually done in the Acknowledgement of Service. The Court won''t accept a statement from you without confirmation from her.

I think I''d say something like this :

From that date she moved into a separate room and we lived separate lives in the same house, neither speaking nor eating together. The Respondent vacated the marital home on the 11th May 2010 and I continued to live there. We have not resumed cohabitation since and have led completely separate lives up to and including the date of this Petition. I have no intention of resuming cohabitation or living with my wife now, or an any time in the future, and regard the marriage as being at an end. The Respondent has indicated to me that she consents to a divorce.

As a matter of interest, should '' speaking '' read '' sleeping '' ?
