I am divorcing XH. I'm not 100% what I am meant to do really. I was planning on making an appointment at the solicitors next week. Do I need to do anything else?

We have been separated since March so have things in place for the boys already.

Any help or advice would be really helpful. Thanks

I am watching this thread with interest. I've heard that unless you accuse your exp of something such as unreasonable behaviour you have to wait 2 years?

Is this true?

Yes you do, but we're getting divorced because of his unreasonable behaviour

Hi

You should notify all authorities that you are separated if you no longer live together.

Take along your marriage certificate (original or certified copy). It also assist us if you bring a short statement of the unreasonable behaviour i.e first, worst and last incident of behaviour. Have his address and other basic contact details to hand. Write down any agreements that you have made in relation to the finances or children.

The more prepared you are, the more you will get out of the appointment. Also, write down some key questions on costs, timescale etc

Best regards

We notified everyone that we had separated when he moved out.

What do I write though? Just about why I felt I had to end the marriage?
