Divorce
| Testimonials from our clients ▼ |
During the stressed period of my divorce, Jeremy Sogno was always available to advise on any queries. As well as receiving an excellent service, in my opinion the costs involved were very reasonable taking into consideration Mr. Sogno’s time at our meetings in the office, telephone & court attendance.

|
2
|
That one of the five supporting grounds has been established:-
|
| (a) |
Unreasonable behaviour |
| (b) |
Adultery |
| (c) |
Desertion – having been abandoned by your spouse for two or more years |
| (d) |
Two years separation – providing that both parties agree |
| (e) |
Five years separation
Unreasonable behaviour is any conduct which render it unreasonable to expect one spouse to continue living with the other. Allegations are often of an individually modest nature but which if taken cumulatively are sufficient to found a petition for divorce.
Adultery is voluntary sexual intercourse between one spouse and a third party during marriage – even if this occurs after the parties have started to live apart.
