Marriage and Divorce

Q.: (1) My husband and I have agreed to separate by mutual consent, ban we keep it private for business reasons, and how can it/ be done? (2) Could either party get a divorce after three years' separation? — "Desperate" (Deyonport). , A.: (1) If the separation is by mutual consent there is no need for any publicity. Have a solicitor draw up the agreement. (2) Yes. - Q.: If I wrote my wife a letter telling her that I had committed adultery and that I would never return to her, would this enable her to obtain a divorce without proof of the contents of the letter? — "Prisoner" (Napier). ■ A.: She cannot obtain a divorce on the ground of adultery without proof of the adultery, and your letter would not be sufficient without some corroboration.
