Hi everyone. So after a pretty horrific few years I finally plucked up the courage to file for divorce against my horrible ex-husband. I'm not using a solicitor and wondered if anyone out there has done it themselves via the government website and if yes how long did the whole thing take? We have separate bank accounts, don't own property and due to the fact he thinks he's 21 again (he's almost 40) he has no interest in looking after our children (other than for the 2 hours he has them once a week)
I completed the paperwork 12 days ago. Yesterday he was sent a copy and agreed to proceed with the divorce and now I'm waiting for the decree nisi. I was really surprised how quickly the first step was.In an ideal world I would love this to be sorted by the end of the year but is that getting my hopes up to much.
