Divorce help posting for traffic

Hi I’m posting here for traffic. I’m sure some people remember my threads about the dickhead husband that had an affair while I had a brain tumour 🙈

So I’m finally trying to get my life straight and have been looking into divorce but I am so confused.
I don’t have an address for him. When I looked online it says that I need one. I have his work address would this be enough?
Also where it says the reason if I put adultery it says if I name her she’ll be served too. Would it be granted on adultery without her being named?
He doesn’t want a divorce because he keeps saying it’s to soon despite now living with the other women in her bedroom at her parents house. Because of the tumour I’m concerned about him being able to make medical decisions on my behalf. We have no assets or anything to complicate it so could he actually stop me getting a divorce?
Is it as simple as filing the papers?

Hopefully someone can help because I have read everything I can online and am still as clueless as I was to start. I actually feel a bit stupid

Little bit unnecessarily rude. I didn’t think to search for it because I thought I was seemed to be the only person in the world who didn’t understand. So maybe you should learn the old saying ‘if you haven’t got anything nice to say’

To be fair to GinDaddy, you have posted on the'AIBU' forum.
Seriously for a second - ignore forums, see a solicitor, get professional advice

Don’t be a dick GinDaddy.

Have you taken legal advice OP?

MrsMozartMkII · 10/09/2019 17:18

Take legal advice lass.

Stressedout10 · 10/09/2019 17:19

Yes you can apply for a divorce for adultery without naming her its sometimes better that way. I believe (not lawyer) that if you are legally separated he has no say on your medical treatment, also you can choose anyone you want to be your legal guardian (its called a power of attorney) it's a simple form.
Hope that helps until someone with more knowledge comes along

Yes you can definitely file without naming the other person, you will usually be advised to do this as if she's named both of them have to be served papers which complicates things and can add to costs.
Adultery has to be in the last 6 months.
Go see a solicitor. Good luck.
