Fight4MyWife, I am in the UK and I was in the same situation you are right now, last week. I went to see 4 different solicitors, 1st consultation is usually free, to seek advice and they all advised the same. Do not contest unless you have lots of money to do so. 99% of divorces in the UK are uncontested, agreement is usually reach by both parties without the need for solicitors. Once solicitors are involved the bills creep up very fast.

I have agreed with my WAS to be amicable and not to contest the divorce.
