My divorce was granted early, on grounds of "mental cruelty", based solely on my affidavit which stated that XAH lied, drank like a fish, cut himself to punish me, showed signs of mental instability, and threw stuff at me. He never once touched me, but in the eyes of the court, it was considered that I was abused for the duration of the marriage. There was no money to split, because XAH drank and snorted it all away, and there were obviously no retirement investments either, so that made things very simple. Because XAH never showed up for the custody hearing, I got sole custody by default, and a month later, the divorce also proceeded by default. It IS possible to "win" in court, even in a province that always grants split custody.
I assume things would have gone very differently if XAH had showed up and fought, seeing as he is a world-class liar, but when liars don't show up to court...
