Vanilla,

Not sure where you see the wriggling. could you elaborate.

I do agree with everything she has accused me of and some it was awful. there are bits of my behaviour i'm ashamed of but i'm learning from that which is all i can do. I also see the things she was/wasnt doing. for example it wasnt fun, but she has at least equal responsibility for that.


Edz,

I suspect you a correct about her moving out, it just feels very final and is when this really impacts on the kids. plus my interaction with W will drop to 3 occassions every 2 weeks (handovers and swimming). I will miss her


Wonka,

in the UK we have a two stage process, the first is the decree nisi which basically one person petitions for a divorce, there is then a 6 week waiting period and time to get consent orders in place before the issue of a decree absolute (the actual final divorce). the decree absolute wont be issued while there are outstanding issues

also in the UK you have to wait 2 years of seperation for a no fault divorce, prior to that it has to be a fault divorce. in my case the options are either adultery or unreasonable behaviour

my solicitor has recommended that adultery is more risky if she wont admit it but that i would be well within my rights to say that her behaviour has been unreasonable in that it has led me to believe that she has committed adultery

does that make sense?
