I'd be extremely greatful for any advice please!
Basic jist is that I was married to my husband for less than a year before we split. He continued to live in the family home for a further six months after the split but he stayed downstairs.
We have been separated for 10 years. We have 3 children who he has had no contact with for over 8 years.
We were in a relationship for 14 years, nearly one was being married. Throughout the relationship he was abusive, violent and had affairs. I was petrified to leave him.
When he did eventually leave the family home he was issued with a police PIN notice (2016 so could be called something else now) which told him to stop being abusive and threatening to hurt me.
I have absolutely no idea where he lives, no contact number but do have an email address which a quick Google check shows is active. We lived in a rented housing association property which is in my name and have no assets or funds to split. After many years the CMS did manage to get him to pay child maintenance which is paid via a deduction of earnings order.
Basically I need to know how easy it's going to be for me to get a divorce when I don't have an address. I have an extremely low income due to being a carer for my disabled son so money is so very tight (hence why I have not sorted the divorce sooner) so need this to be as cheap as possible for me.
I've looked online but I'm absolutely bamboozled and struggling so if anyone has been in the same boat or can just point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you in advance
