Am I kidding myself that it's this easy ?

[Toofat2BtheFly]

Married for 6 yrs , 2 dd together , 1 dd (17) from a previous relationship .

Council house with only my name on the tenancy as it was acquired before meeting him . No joint bank accounts or joint finance commitments .

Is splitting up going to be as easy as he moves out , I claim benefits for the DD's and I ( was just made redundant , actively looking for a new job but nothing at moment plus think I need some space and thinking time as my self esteem is on the floor ) .

He knows it's coming as he had really ramped up his shittyness ( especially since I don't have a income ) . He is a a bully and a quite frankly a dickhead of the highest order and he won't change and I've had enough .

What am I missing ? Why does seem so easy to split , is it because my mindset is different or is it really that easy to end my marriage ?

Help me please

Well, the answer is - yes and no.

Yes, the divorce would be simple as there are no big assets to argue over.

No, the divorce is expensive - about £500. You don't need a solicitor but still need to pay the court fees. Excemption from fees can be applied for but is difficult to get unless there is documented abuse, forced marriage etc.

The website www.gov.uk is the best one for clear advice, just search for divorce and it will take you through all the stages, forms etc.

Divorce isn't necessarily expensive. If you're on benefits, and you apply for the divorce (i.e are the Petitioner), you can apply for a fee exemption. This can cover all the court fees.
