A good friend of mine has split up with her husband. He was having an affair and he wants a divorce. She has agreed to the divorce, but has not seen a lawyer at all. She wants to do things amicably and says she doesn't want anything from her husband.
I think she is crazy, and keep asking her to get a lawyer, but I think she is scared about the whole process.
Could anyone give me some advice on how to help her get a lawyer, what the process will be and what kind of general settlement she might be entitled to?
The situation may be a little complicated as she was not a British citizen when they married (she is now). They were however married in England. They have two daughters, and a house in London. The husband does have a lawyer.
Any advice that would enable me to help my friend would be much appreciated. Lozzer
