ABSTRACT
Abigail and Ben have been married for eight years. They have no children, and both of them have worked throughout the marriage. Abigail has had a successful career as a solicitor, but recently lost her job when the firm she worked with closed their local office. However, she was offered a job in an office with an associated firm of solicitors, some 250 miles away, and as the job situation was bleak, Abigail accepted the position. She rented a small flat near her new job, and returned home to Ben each weekend. However, her visits became more infrequent, and she hardly ever returns home.
