Your reasons for divorce may be extensive or highly specific, but they will be required to fall under one of the following headings to qualify as official grounds for divorce:

Unreasonable Behaviour may be used as legal grounds for divorce in a variety of situations. Courts are generally lenient about what qualified as unreasonable behaviour; it could refer to anything from physical violence to poor financial planning. The only requirement is that you prove said behaviour has made it impossible for you to continue living with your spouse.

Adultery may be used as grounds for divorce only when you can prove in court that your partner has had consensual sex with another individual.

Desertion may be used as grounds for divorce if your spouse has been away from home for two years or more without your consent.

Separation for at least 2 years may be used as grounds for divorce only once the consent of your spouse has been secured.

Separation for at least five years may be used as grounds for divorce without the consent of your spouse.

At Clough & Willis, we are committed to securing the best possible results for our clients, whether this is in the form of ancillary relief or future financial aid.

From first contact to the last, everyone has been very professional and reassuring through what has been an emotional and stressful time for us and without the help of your company it would have been much more difficult for me and my husband.

I was very impressed with your firm at the outset when I first called in November 2009 after my uncles death. All staff from the receptionist and secretary through to the Partners were professional, friendly and helpful and provided the best response out of the 3 Bury firms I called.

Lorraine, I would just like to say "thank you very much" for all your hard work and assistance in the letting of the above property. The negotiations were somewhat protracted, due to a breakdown on my client's side, and I feel that your persistence and hard work led to the eventual lease completion. I look forward to working with you in the near future. Kind regards, Neil Higson, for and on behalf of Nolan Redshaw Ltd
