It is a fact of life that unfortunately not all marriages are successful. When a relationship breaks down it is not unusual for one or both parties to seek to dissolve the marriage or to obtain a formal decree of judicial separation.
If there are children of the family under 18 the court must be satisfied that proper arrangements are being made for their welfare.
