What to expect from divorce?

[ShoesAndFood]

So finally leaving my husband (I keep saying I’ll do this but then don’t/come back). I’m 30, money isn’t an issue, no kids. We have a house which I will move out of. We’ll rent it out. I just want to ask for some advice on what to expect from legal procedures or any general advice? How do I tell people? I’ve only told my parents so far. And how long does divorce take? (finances won’t be an issue, we make almost identical amounts of money etc).

When I say we will rent out the house - that’s my expectation, I haven’t actually discussed it with him yet.

You mean rent out the fmh? Why would you not sell it? Renting it surely makes a clean break impossible if you both own it. Surely you'd sell and take half each?

Answers to your questions depend on your location, how long you've been married, what is the reason for the divorce. Is there a mortgage on the house?

My initial thought is the same as achoo, not sure why you would want to rent out the house.

We can’t sell it, for legal reasons that have nothing to do with the marriage. It’s either we rent it out for a while or one of us stays in it. Been married one year, live in England.

And yes, there is a mortgage on it
