Deric, its important you first ask yourself what you want to achieve as a final outcome.

I have seen too many parents seek shared care of their children, for instance, and yet do their best to assassinate the character of their ex-partner in their affidavit.

I think it is a good rule of thumb to try and be as objective as possible, and list the good qualities of your ex-wife, as well as the behaviours that are now creating problems.

You should also remember that although certain events in your relationships history may be very significant to you, it may not necessarily be legal important, and so be brief, and only refer to the information that a Court can consider as legally relevant.
