I'm filling on the online gov form for a divorce. Most of it seems straight forward except Part 10, section 3, Financial Order.

Me and the ex have been apart for four years now...still on friendly terms etc and both looking to move on. We initially went through solicitors and came to an agreement regarding the house etc. Neither of us are looking for anything extra...it's been sorted out for a number of years now.

However, on the form I'm really confused about which option I tick. I'm actually thinking I leave it blank but would really appreciate any advice from someone that's filled in the form/has experience etc.

And just a general question; We've been apart for four years, everything is fine between us, she's moved on, I've moved on and nobody is looking for anything extra and there's no kids involved. My question is; it seems very straight forward that I fill in this form and then that's more or less that.

Is it really that "easy"?

Many thanks in advance smile

Thanks for the replies. I missed out a very important point that we've been through the solicitors, house transferred back to me etc and she got a cash lump sum.

It was more a question of which box, if any I need to tick as I don't understand the form.

Thanks again for the replies. I appreciate the time taken.

You are missing the point I fear.

What you have agreed so far means nothing without a Court Order to enforce it. If you don't get one then she can come back for more several years from now.

So tick whatever box means you can apply for a Court Order as part of the divorce process.
Ok. Think I've got it. Thanks again. smile
