What exactly means when it is unreasonable behaviour like a cause of divorce?How hard or easy is to prove that it is particularly this sort of reason?How fair is CAFCASS judgement,when actually non of this service hasn`t turn up in a court and as I do know hasn`t spoken to divorced family`s children?Which is the age when the child actually can decide which parent he/she wants to live with?
THX!

Unreasonable behavior is usually used in a court of law to describe a mental disorder. In divorce court a party will use it against the other party in saying this party has a mental condition that should be held against them especially in a custody battle. Now children can choose their parent if requested in court and is usually at the age of reasonable understanding, which in some cases Ive seen as young as 4. The judge usually takes the children into his chambers away from the parents but with attys present and asks them some questions. If he feels the children understands them and answers reasonably well, he will let them choose. The courts tend to lean to the mothers side for court decided custody unless child or drug/mental reasons prevail. Now if the 1st party is trying to use mental disorder as cause for custody denial, they will have to have documents proof; medical reports, etc., otherwise its just hearsay and will be thrown out and judges dont exactly like hearsay in their courtrooms so it might backfire against the 1st party. Hope this helps and good luck

I got my first husband for denying me access to the family car and hitting on my best friend.
I got my second for denying me money and forever suggesting the children were not his.
Unreasonable behaviour is that which makes living as a couple impossible so varies from couple to couple.
All three of my children were interviewed by the CAFCASS officer for the Section 7 Report. They were asked who they wanted to live with and this was put in the report.

My divorce was on the grounds of unreasonable behaviour but my husbad was a thug who beat and raped me for 3 years! OK this is unreasonable but it should also be criminal.
Imagine how hard it is for a child to choose between mum or dad. Keeping in contact with the children is the most important thing, not who they live with.

Not sure about the UK,but here in the States,underage children can only express who they want to live with,the FINAL decision is up to the Family Court Judge

Law shall change...
Children has something to say to law at least , but not at last...
14 years to state whom the child wants to live with, is too late...his mind as been made during 14 years... they can answer sooner...
Ask to those you voted to represent you and request changes on laws...
Impossible to contact them?
But ...by God.... what kind of Democracy do you live in?
All of us, all over the world deserve a "citizen card" to vote the laws and to put out of the government those we do not like...
To vote through Internet or in 24 hours "bank' for voting....
Otherwise.... have a good luck... and "luck" is not "reason"....

kids can choose the parent they want to live with at 14, and unreasonable behaviour..is anything your soon to be Ex doesnt like. from your working all teh hours god sends to pay for holidays and the mortgage..unreasonable behaviour... leaving the top off teh toothpaste... and it can get very petty and quite silly. but basically its theri get out of jail free card...which is almost impossible to beat.
but remeber this, the courts dont automatically go with mum get everything thses days, so if she a drunken crack whore, all you have to do is show this to the judge...

It's best to seek the advise of an attorney specialising in family law.
