Anyone have experience of just wanting to get divorced (2 years separated). We don't want to split any finances or properties and have no children together.

Have a look at the Wikivorce website. You can use one of their solicitors at a very low cost to get the divorce and consent order done.

I used them, and my ex just signed the papers without using a solicitor.

They were fine but slow. I think the whole thing including the court fees (you have to pay this anyway) was less than £800.

By legal intervention, do you mean solicitors?

You can download divorce petition from website and complete yourself but it's of course easier to get a solicitor to deal with it for you.

The cost is I think £550 for court fees and solicitors will charge a few hundred extra to complete.What is important is that you each draw a line under finances so that there is a clean break..Example used is if, you win the lottery and your ex decides he was financially dependant on you.Unlikely I know but solicitors see so many cases where the "unlikely" happens they ensure all doors shut.
