My have filed for divorce against my husband. We discussed it beforehand (in fact I sent him a copy of the papers before I sent them off so he could see what I was saying) and he was in sheepish agreement. He's all loved up with someone else now so I expect he's equally eager to get things sorted.
It's relatively amicable. Finances/child arrangements are all in place already and have been for quite a while. We communicate quite well so to keep costs down I am attempting a DIY divorce, however I'm feeling a bit lost!
The online advice and guidance for what to do when, and what should be going on in the background is very vague so I'm constantly wondering if I'm supposed to be doing something or whether the ball's in the court's court
I sent off the application in early september.
I had a letter from the court to say the petition had been issued on 22nd September. My husband received his copy the same day as me and returned his acknowledgement of service the next day.
Since that, I've heard nothing ... should I have?
I'm keen to get this sorted out now as it feels like a huge black cloud above my head but there I can't find anything to say what should be happening so I don't know if I ought to be chasing things or not.
Any help or advice from you lovely people would be much appreciated!
