hello SA, My husband has offered to pay the costs of the divorce awhich will be around £1500 or so but not the cost of any legal advice I get. I am ineligible for any support from the state. My suggestion had always been to separate fro 2 years and then we could divorce with no fault and if we did it ourselves nice and sensibly it would cost £210 or so - my husband's dire financial situation means that he cannot afford to wait that long. Houses aren't selling that quickly over here and I could easily see that it'll be a year of the status quo trying to sell the house (we also have a plot of land wwe re trying to get planning permission on which will take months to sort....).
So even with a fair wind and all the planets aligned we are looking at around a year to get our financial situation clear and a way forward agreed - his head is firmly where the sun doesn't shine I am afraid......
