"I am clear and unequivocal that our marriage has broken down irretrievably with no chance of revival given we have both moved on over the years.

"Since the respondent, Joho moved out of our matrimonial home in June 2013, the substance of our marriage has dissipated and has no basis to be sustained from a legal and social standpoint,” Fazzini said in her affidavit filed in court.
