Re: the law on divorce
Hi. sorry to hear of the problems you and your boyfriend are experiencing.I am presuming that your boyfriend has petitioned for divorce on the grounds of two years separation which requires the consent of the other party. If this is not the case, it will only be necessary for him to prove service of the petition in order to obtain a divorce.
if there has not been adultery it is not open to your boyfriend's wife to issue a petition on this ground. It would however be possible for her to petition on the basis of and allegation of unreasonable behaviour in his relationship with you.
I will be pleased to advise you further on any other problems if you get in touch.
