Unbelievable Divorces: 550 Cats, Honeymooning with Mom, and a Talking Bird./ Rockford Divorce Lawyer

In Illinois you need grounds for divorce:basically a reason is required to get divorced. Illinois does not permit “no fault” divorce.There are several bases that are generally recognized: irreconcilable differences, mental or physical cruelty, alcohol or drug abuse, adultery, impotence and imprisonment. Sometimes couples want to get divorced for reasons that do not really fit into any of those categories.

In Israel a husband filed for divorce from his wife because she has 550 cats, which she refuses to get rid of. The man said that he could not sleep on his bed because the cats were laying on it. He told the court that the cats blocked the door to the bathroom, and that they stole food off his plate at the dinner table.

In Italy a wife filed for divorce after her husband brought his mother with on their honeymoon. The wife asked the husband to make her leave but he refused. After only three weeks of marriage the wife asked for a divorce because of her husband’s “excessive emotional attachment” to his mom.

In China a husband divorced his wife after 10 years of marriage when he found out that she had been lying about her age the whole time. The wife said she was 24 when they were married, and after 10 birthdays it never came up that she was actually 6 years older.

Also in China a wife learns that her husband is cheating on her because their pet bird started talking about the indiscretion, saying things like “I love you,” “Divorce” and “Be Patient” everytime the phone rang. The wife brought the bird to court to testify at her divorce hearing. The bird was not subject to cross examination.
