Bit lost

I recently split from my wife who has now returned to the UK. I live overseas and want to get a divorce, we were only married 18 months. Not sure what I need to do. The information about grounds for divorce does not apply, so what do I do. Wait two years and hope she agrees to divorce me? Bit lost by what I need to do, I want to move on with my life and put that part of my life behind me. The impression I get though is, legally that won't be possible for a few years yet.
Has anyone been in a similar situation or got any advice?

Thanks.

This isn't a legal opinion, but if you can't wait or don't want to wait 2 years or 5 years and adultery doesn't apply, then 'unreasonable behaviour' is probably your best/only option. And if you can't find the few paragraphs necessary, (most couples can even in a happy marriage!) then why are you divorcing her?

"Unreasonable behaviour is behaviour by the respondent which means that the petitioner cannot reasonably be expected to live with her / him any longer. There is no legal definition of unreasonable behaviour but it includes such behaviour as physical and mental cruelty to you or your children, verbal abuse, financial irresponsibility, drunkenness or transmission of certain sexually transmitted diseases.

Usually, there will have to have been a number of incidents. Each incident in itself does not have to be serious. A long period of trivial incidents may well be considered sufficient to justify a divorce. One very serious incident may also be sufficient, for example, if the respondent has sexually abused a child. You should provide a detailed account of the behaviour which you consider has led to the breakdown of the marriage. It is helpful to include approximate dates and places of incidents. This enables the respondent to understand what is alleged and helps the district judge decide whether the behaviour was unreasonable. If you have continued to live together for six months after the last incident of unreasonable behaviour, this may be used to indicate that you can be expected to continue living together. It may result in the divorce not being granted."
