Relationship during 2 yr separation

[Confuddledmum]

Hi all, my ex husband and I have agreed to have 2 year separation to be divorced after 2 years. How does it work with having other relationships during the 2 years? Please can anybody help me ?
I'm asking because I'm getting friendly with someone but he's worried it will affect my situation if we come out.

I got together with my now-DH about three months after separating from my ex-DH. We only had to wait a year for the divorce (no kids, Scotland) but my new relationship had no impact.

It won’t have any impact.

If neither of you want to remain married why are you waiting 2 years to divorce. You can get a quick divorce if you both agree.

How would we go about getting a quick divorce surely all divorces cost fortune?

You could be divorced for adultery as you are still technically married although separated.

My ex took great pleasure in divorcing me for adultery even though he left and met someone way before me.

Depends if you are bothered by that or not.

Also new man could be named as co-respondent in the divorce although this is rare these days and if your ex gets legal advice he will be advised against it.

Not if you are in agreement with regards to how to divide assets and childcare. Also that you both agree on the reason for the divorce. You can download forms from the gov.uk website and submit them to the court yourselves costs £500 to subit the forms.
Costs arrise when solicitors are needed and you have challenges around assets and children.

The only reason to wait two years would be because you dont want to give a reason on the papers that essentially blames the other person. so you wait two years to show you have lived seperate lives or 5 years to claim dessertion instead.
However even if you wait two or five years the costs and risk to your assets would be the same.
The reason people tend to do a 2 year formal seperation is because they are unsure or for religious reasons dont believe in divorce but want their assets seperated i.e you cant claim for each others earning that came about during the seperation period. However you would need to file for a formal seperation to be sure the court would take that into consideration although the court is under no obligation to do so.
