Divorce application

My ex is initiating divorce proceedings. His solicitor is a known procrastinator, and I want this done asap. I've given him all the necessary paperwork and my current address. Our minute of agreement is signed. Does anyone know how long it should take for the lawyer to make the application and what correspondence will I get through? It's been around a week since he asked for my address so hopefully he'd made a start. I'm assuming it wouldn't take that long? Just trying to gauge when to chase them up. Thanks

Have you agreed all the finances and children arrangements? Why the big rush?

Ignore my post above, I didn't realise Scotland didn't go with the new divorce law despite it being a logical thing to do.

Hopefully you can find better information here

My ex is abusive and I want to get it done while he's agreeable, he could change his mind and make it difficult at any given moment. Thanks for the link!
