The grounds for divorce
Under the federal ''[[Divorce Act]]'' there is really only one reason why you can apply for a divorce order, ''marriage breakdown''. Under s. 8 of the act, there are three reasons why marriage breakdown may have occurred:
#the intentional separation of the spouses for at least one year;,#the adultery of a spouse; , and,
#one spouse's treatment of the other with such mental or physical cruelty that it is impossible to continue the marriage.
