When to divorce

Hi, I’ve been separated from my husband for just over two years. He stayed in the family home and I’m renting privately. I went to see a solicitor about financial matters and she said it wouldn’t be in my best interests to divorce atm as there isn’t much equity in the house.

I feel like a divorce is the best thing now after many months deliberating as I think it will give me the closure I need. I’m fine on my own but obviously the money would be useful for me to try and find s house. Is it possible to sort the finances after divorce or am I better waiting it out? It could be another few years, and ideally I just want to be free of him to move on!

I should add the house is in his name only.

Ok. I’ve been sepetated two years. Property sold and assets all dived (and we’ve both moved on).

Doing diy divorce. He cannot contest at this stage. You separated for a reason so I’d say divorce. Why wait if not much equity in house? I thing prices won’t rise (depending where you are) and all the time you are sepetated you are still responsible for any debts he may have (my particular fear).
