Anyone got any experience of quickie divorce sites? Quick back story been separated 6 years (long time I know) no kids or shared property so always said we would use one of those services. He moved into my home and we only had one joint account to pay for wedding stuff with (he moved back into his mums after we separated and isnt great with money)
We remained friends, in fact I've been quite a big emotional support to him since we separated, even though both of us have had other relationships since.
Marriage broke up as we just wanted other things, neither of us shit on the other one so it was easy to stay friends after the initial fall out (i ended the marriage) but he now agrees was the right thing.
As I said remained friends unti this year when his newest relationship became more serious and he then made it clear my friendship was no longer needed. So I accepted that and completely cut contact, he was happy, that was fine I didnt want to cause problems for him.
On my birthday he called me, that wasnt unusual we always spoke around birthdays and Christmas, sending families cards etc, this may sound strange but we were friends for a number of years before we got married, like I said there was no big reason why we separated it just wasnt working, hense no animosity between us or our respective families.
Anyway he had called me on my birthday to ask me for a divorce, I was expecting it as I knew from mutual friends his newest relationship was becoming serious and knew he wanted children so completely understood he would want to divorce before this happened.
We had a deal, whoever wanted the divorce paid for it, he said the fee was 500.00 and he would sort it out. Get paperwork sorted etc. I said fine, offered to pay for half he assured me he had it covered. I asked him to of the divorce covered any kind of order that meant if either one of us come into money we wouldnt hold any entitlement, or any entitlement to my pensions (he doesnt have one as is trying to set up a business and has jumped from job to job since we split). Im liable for a large death in service payment if I pass away during my current employment and Id like that to go to my son and want to make sure that neither of us have any right to anything in the future. If that makes sense. He didnt know this information and tbh I thought he wouldve asked that as this would be to protect him as much as me, his family are alot wealthier than mine and he is due to inherit quite alot. I explained that i might get a solicitor to look over the paperwork and make sure everything was covered.
I've recently heard from him saying I should expect the papers and that I need to return them within 7 days. Is this right? If I take longer and try to get someone to look at them how does that impact me. I'm not sure if I'm overreacting here I feel that I'm being pushed into something. Im happy to get divorced, he wants to build a new life I get that,but at this stage I just want to make sure everything is covered and I'm not sure how clear the wording will be and whether I will understand it enough to sign them confidently.
Anyone used these sites before.
