Hello, I'm filling out form D8 to start divorce proceedings today with a heavy heart but a clear enough head, (at least that's how I feel right now!).
Can anyone help with a couple of specific questions about the form - I've looked at the guidance but still not sure.
- In a free half hour appointment a solicitor told me to include an admission of adultery from my husband along with my form, and also get him to state he will not defend the divorce. Does anyone know what difference this will make, and what form of words we should use? (He knows I am citing his adultery as the grounds).
- Should I tick the boxes in section 10 regarding Financial Order for self and the children? We intend to agree our asset split ourselves and then to get it signed off as a consent order pre decree absolute. I'm not sure if ticking these boxes means that I am allowing this to happen, or if it means I would be asking the court to decide my asset split which I don't want to do.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help, and good luck everyone going through the process too.
