violence you were subjected to throughout your marriage and the subsequent Protection
Order you sought, you can successfully petition to the Court for dissolution of marriage.
In advising you thoroughly, I would like to indicate that one of the particulars set out in s.4 is
that of adultery. Even though the birth certificate of Liam Waddell is evidence enough to
satisfy adultery, it may not be the most prudent since infidelity is an issue with both parties.
Further in accordance with s. 8 (3) of the Act Thus I advise on the behaviour of the
respondent given his violent nature and your subsequent Protection Order, which will prove
his violence.
With regard to the matrimonial assets, it was established in Roche v Roche [1981] 11 Fam
Law 243 CA that in seeking financial relief including an application for a lump sum, you can
seek an injunction from Court restraining the respondent from disposing of the matrimonial
assets.
Since you are seeking the divorce, you will have to file the petition. This petition contains
every element of the divorce procedure including the grounds on which you rely for
dissolution of the marriage, every form that must be filed in accordance to divorce procedure
and listing of issues such as the granting of the matrimonial assets.
I further advise on the documents that accompanies the petition. Firstly the following
documents would have to be furnished to exhibit in the petition:
i.
ii.
iii.
iv.
Rule 9.6 of the Family Proceeding Rules 1998 provides for a Statement of Arrangement for
children. This includes plans that are being made to look after the children of the family. It
would also entail an estimate as to the net cost of the financial needs of the said children.
I would like you to note that the Court will not legally end the marriage unless arrangements
are made for the children.

Lastly, pursuant to s. 8 (1) of the Act, as your Attorney-at-law I will have to furnish a
Certificate of Reconciliation indicating that I have discussed and provided you with persons
or organisations who are qualified to help with reconciliation, should you consider it.
Should you have questions or inquiries as to the above advice please do not hesitate to
contact me.
Yours faithfully,
