If you are considering filing for divorce, one of the first things you must do is establish which "grounds for divorce" heading, your situation falls under. These headings include:

• Unreasonable behaviour
• Desertion
• Adultery
• Separation for at least two years
• Separation for at least five years

As the most commonly cited grounds for divorce, unreasonable behaviour is the widest of these brackets. UK courts are generally lenient as to what they will accept as unreasonable behaviour; as long as you can prove that the behaviour of your spouse has made it impossible for you to continue living together, it will typically be accepted as viable grounds for divorce.
