Easiest and cheapest divorce

[croyde]

We have been seperated for over 7 years now. She lives in the house with her boyfriend and our 3 children. 10 to 16 years old.

I rent a place and have just started seeing someone.

All pretty amicable, I pay a monthly amount to her and help out in other ways as well as having the kids when I can.

House is only really worth something if sold but she and the kids need a home.

So how does one get a divorce that doesn't break the bank and lets those slimy solicitors in to start winding everybody up whilst making a fortune.

I'd rather give up on the house than pay a cent to a solicitor.

Whats the best way to go? I presume, with the kids involved, that a bit of paperwork from WH Smiths won't suffice.

Cheers.

All good stuff chaps.

Seeing how that we have been apart for 7 years, how do the authorities obtain prove that is so, or does one have to start 2 years from applying?

It's still worth speaking to a solicitor IMO, what happens if you win the lottery in 4 years time or she decides she wants a share of your pension pot?

It's worth a couple of hundred quid to make sure it's done properly.

We are actually amicable enough that if I ever did win the lottery, I would want to help her out and vica versa. After all she is looking after my kids.

And pension, don't make me laugh No offence.

My pension plan is to plan a big robbery and either get away with it or end up in clink with three meals a day and somewhere dry to sleep. A win/win situation

If anything she has the successful business of which I have no interest in, like if someone leaves their keys in their car. It's not mine.

Horrible that people want everything that they can get. Awful attitude that solicitors prey on.

On this subject, how come anything that happens after the divorce can be re contested.

Makes the divorce pretty pointless in a way.

I have a consent order drafted by a solicitor friend that I used with a few tweaks. It finalises the distribution of possessions and (hopefully) draws a line under the whole thing closing any further claims. I don't mind sending it over if it helps.

That would be great if you don't mind. Thanks

A workmate of mine supported his wife while she went to law school.

Turns out she only did it to divorce him and ruin him in the process. Left him with nothing.

Once done she stopped being a lawyer.

Many years later and poor bloke is still a wreck.
