I am a female and married my partner who is also a female. We do not live together anymore its been almost a year now because we have been going to counseling trying to work on our marriage. My partner had a sex change and is becoming a male and changed her name also and has changed a lot so I had to move out of our home. Now he wants a divorce and seeing someone else a co-worker that we both work with. I just want to know if I have legal reasons for a breakdown in my marriage and my divorce be granted. Also to discuss who gets what and what I am entitle to.

You don’t require any “legal reason” to apply for a divorce – you need only establish that you have lived separate and apart for 1 year preceding the application for the granting of the divorce order. Having irreconcilable difference is sufficient nothing more.
