    Court
    Family Court
    Case number
    FCMC15604/2009

    On the balance of probabilities the respondent's repeated criticism, frequent quarrels, admitted corporal punishment of a child and the incident on 30 November 2009 rendered the petitioner's continued cohabitation unreasonable; combined with the parties' separation and absence of realistic prospect of reconciliation, the marriage has broken down irretrievably and a decree nisi must be granted.

    FRANCESCA BRUNIALTI SUAREZ v. JOSE FELIX SUAREZ

    Citation
    FRANCESCA BRUNIALTI SUAREZ v. JOSE FELIX SUAREZ
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMC22/1978

    On the balance of probabilities the court found most allegations to be exaggerated or unproven and that the only proved violent episode was a solitary assault on 27 January 1978 for which the husband was genuinely contrite; the proved incidents and their cumulative effect were insufficiently grave to satisfy the statutory test that the petitioner cannot reasonably be expected to live with the respondent, therefore the petition for dissolution is dismissed.
