My H left me nearly 2 years ago. I have now petitioned him on UB and he has acknowledged service. I have not yet sworn the oath to get nisi as I need to pay £600. I do work - 27k per annum - but as STBX cleared out our joint accounts I'm having to build up savings. I also have to pay my son's rent at Uni.
H has now applied for the financials at court (in March). I can't decide whether to self rep or get solicitor's help. She needs 1k on account to start the financials, I would have to put it on credit card. Can we (hopefully) come to a consent order without the nisi being applied for? I know the actual divorce is the easy part and the finances take longer. He earns a 6 figure salary and has a pension pot of 400k and thinks that, after 24 years of marriage, he only has to give me 50% of house equity
