Divorce Law - Unreasonable Behaviour UK

According to the UK Divorce Law the Unreasonable Behaviour constitutes when one partner behaves in such an "unreasonable" manner that the other partner finds it intolerable. It is for this reason that the most common "grounds" granted for divorce by the courts in England and Wales, is under the category of "Unreasonable Behaviour". It is important to understand that the court is also more lenient towards this category of divorce than any other. This is because its not hard to think of examples of a few behaviour which are intolerable to a partner. But it is important to understand that, as with UK Divorce Law for Adultery, there is a time limit involved for filing for divorce based on this category. If the partners are living together, then the partner wishing to file for divorce would have to do so within six months of the incident of the "intolerable behaviour".

This rise in Unreasonable Behaviour in marriages has led PEYMA to develop unique approach to marriage counselling which specifically targets a couple's behavioural clashes. PEYMA's relationship counseling is unique in that it will target behavioural clashes, detailing the exact root cause of the problem and what couples need to do to address them.

When getting divorced on the grounds of Unreasonable Behaviour, one partner will be granted the divorce. But in reality, it will not matter which partner is granted the divorce as the cause of divorce, in majority of cases, will have no bearing on how the assets are divided or the custody of the children.

If the couples both agree on the grounds for this category, then the courts very rarely try to prevent the divorce from going through. However, if one partner disagrees, then the court would be forced to scrutinize the claims. In these situations, PEYMA strongly recommends that you hire an experienced Family Divorce Lawyer to represent you.
