do you need solicitor to get a divorce?

[myangle]

Hi

My neighbour has been separated from.her husband for quite some time but never signed the divorce paper. she doesn't have much money, and when I spoke to her, she has heard there is a fee service from a place near to the courts. But when she went to ask, it wasn't. I was wondering if she needs to go to the solicitor to sign divorce papers, or can she just go online and print of a generic Form and send off somewhere.

Apparently the husband is happy to go along with this and there is no need to split assets . The children have all grown up too.

any advice was be most appreciated.

Thanks

Yep, I did it all online. Was quite sad actually, how easy it was. There is a fee (can't remember, but it wasn't much, £100?) same thing, no contest etc.

You only need a solicitor if there is a disagreement. I assume your friend has a statement of separation from earlier.

HI ladies,

Thanks for your message.

The house is hers and is in Her name. She is currentuly living there. Her husband does not have a pension.

that's all I know.

Is that okay to a get a simple divorce?

Of course not okay. If she doesn't have a sealed consent order at any time in the future he can come after half the house even in 20 years time. It is absolutely vital they agree a final clean break now which says she keeps the house and that the court seal that by way of a court order. That is the problem that Eco millionaire had - he never had that done so decades later once he'd made millions his other half could come back for a huge slice.

Ah saw bb post - yes Vince Dale.
(Assuming England not Scotland here).

Oh thanks. I didn't know anyone can do that. how horrible. Okay, I will tell her to go to the solicitors. thanks a lot.

I hope you bratufiful ladies have a great weekend. Thanks again. :)
