Divorce - Unreasonable Behaviour 'It's just unbelievable that somebody who once professed to love you could turn around and make these allegations ' It is estimated that one in three marriages will end in divorce. The marriage of Eric and Lesley is one digit in the doleful statistics, and their children Thomas, James and Natalie are three of the 163,000 minors involved in divorce each year. This documentary film is an in-depth study of one of the biggest disasters that can befall a family. For after a series of quarrels, after court orders excluding him from the marital home and contact with his family, Eric is told by his wife's solicitor that she is suing for divorce. Eric opposes divorce, and fights for his marriage, and access to his children. The only hope seems to be the new approach of conciliation by Court Welfare Officers.
