Separating

Sorry for two threads asking for advice. I have finally had enough of my husband and his abusive outbursts when drunk. This has happened once too many times now and I'm done. I want to separate and divorce. What do I need to do first? We have no children together and no joint assets. Can anyone give a rough time scale please

I'm not entirely sure what you mean? So you have shared assets etc?

Time frame should be leave the front door, don't go back. Everything else can be sorted once you're away and safe. Emergency housing at council, women's aid can help, CAB may be of use etc.

We have only been married five years. We live in council house with tenancy just in my name... He moved in with me. I have told him I am done and it is over. No more chances. I need to know how I set the divorce ball rolling and roughly how long the process is from start to finish if no kids, property or joint finances involved

Ahh I see. First thing first, pick a lawyer, some will give first hour free.
They will go through it all with you in that hour and if you choose to instruct them they will give an idea of time frame and costs.
Mine took about 6 months beginning to end and cost about £1200 ish.
Less than the wedding and much better value.
