Initial divorce documents

[moostermum]

Hi, my best friend has just found out her partner has cheated. Please can someone confirm what documents she needs as she's broken hearted and I need to push her to sort things out.
Partner is currently living in another country so does anyone have any advice on this? She gave up everything to follow him around the world for his job. No kids together (only her daughter who is grown up)
Thanks

Sorry should have said husband. Married almost 10 years

If she's living overseas, she'll have to file where she is, unless she is flying back to the UK.

She's in the UK, but he is overseas

Why are you pushing her to get a divorce sorted out? Let her get her head around it first!

Because it's definitely over and I think he will start to hide money. Just asked what document she needs as evidence

I'm not pushing for a divorce. I'm asking what evidence she needs to get now before things get hidden and messy. I thought there was a 'ducks in a row' list?

"I need to push her to sort things out" is exactly what you said. She may not feel strong enough to get things sorted yet. Let her ger her strength back first.

Well, ideally she wants documentation of any financial dealings, his income, mortgage/assets, savings accounts, pensions and so on.

But don't push her. She might even decide to stay with him. Let her make her own decisions.

Thank you. It's definitely over as I've spoken to him. I'm trying to help her as he's always been financially controlling & I don't want her to lose out.
