I've seen in various places that you should hold off applying for the decree absolute until you have the finances agreed also. I'll be able to apply for decree absolute soon, and we don't yet have the consent order agreed.
My solicitor said that it wasn't really important which way round we did it - the only difference would be whether or not he was deemed to be my next of kin.
I don't want to take my foot off the gas in terms of reaching agreement, but equally I would love to be divorced, so that he will have to stop saying 'we are still married you know'.
Does it matter either way? What am I missing?
Thanks
