Divorce from Bed and Board

[KellieMae]

My husband has a long history of alcohol abuse and subsequent job losses, which has taken a toll on the family. He refuses treatment and will not leave the house. I’m considering a Divorce from Bed and Board. I’ve read the Rosen website and others, so I know that I would file under the grounds of “Excessive drug or alcohol use that makes the complaining spouse’s condition intolerable or life overly burdensome.” But what would I need to prove this? Would a documented alcohol assessment be enough? And what is the process?

Thanks
