Hi, I need some advice anything will be helpful and if there are anyone in this field of law I would appreciate it a lot.

My friend and her husband were married in Bangladesh in 2009
Spouse arrived in the uk in 2009;
Been separated since 2012;
Spouse obtained citizenship on the basis marriage was subsisting - 2-3 years ago;
Marriage not registered in the uk at all;
No children
No assets
No money
Separated because they didn’t get along.

What would my friend need if she contacts a solicitor. What documents proof? How much will it cost? What legal drafts or forms need filling up based on the above?

Please help me as she is in despair and all alone during lockdown and feel that she is getting depressed and really wants for this divorce to be over and done with.

She should take everything she has to the solicitor and they will advise and reassure her.

They are legally married and she will need to seek a divorce. Tbh if there are no assets and no children it should be relatively straight forward. She will need the marriage certificate and an authorised English translation. She needs his contact details. The initial application is £550, if she uses a solicitor you need to ask them what their fees are.

The concern is that he got citizenship by stating that they were still together. So is there anything to state that they separated in 2012?
