Hi, I recently caught my OH cheating for the second time. 8 years ago we reconciled, this time I won't.
My question is - do I need clear irrefutable evidence of adultery to divorce on that basis in the UK? I don't have anything except what he's told me. He got a parking ticket in a hotel but he took that out of my hands and it vanished. I am trying to contact the parking company to get a copy but they're impossible to get hold of, no direct number etc.
If I file, he is the type of person who might deny it. He is very image conscious and won't want to be seen as the bad guy. But if he fights it it could get expensive.
Would. you still file citing adultery or go down a different route?

No you don’t need any evidence nor any fault attributed to start divorce proceedings the law has been recently changed.
If you Google "divorce law changes UK" it will come up with all the info but it means that you do not need one partner to take the blame or prove they’re at fault anymore, you can initiate a no fault divorce.

There can be a slight variance in divorce based on what part of the UK you are in. England and Wales have the same divorce laws, but Scotland and North Ireland have some difference. However – based on brief online searches it does seem like infidelity has no impact on the process or outcome in any of these places.
