Divorce Lawyers

You don't have to accuse him of anything... you come to an amicable agreement and, basically, tell a white lie to expedite matters. It depends on how much of a hurry you are in! If you go on the 2 year grounds, you wont have to explain anything to a judge.

As for insurance... why bother dropping the named driver? Just leave him on there and change it next year. I do not see any potential loss by doing this...

Best moneysaving divorce is in Islamic culture.

The only ones who benefit from any divorce are parasitic legal practitioners.

But good luck to the OP

Now to sort out the bastid insurance who want to charge me £65 extra for dropping my named driver

Yikes, I'd be inclined to let it run until renewal to save the £65, then remove when looking for new quotes.

I need to see a solictor tomorrow with a view to divorcing. There will be a couple of issues to deal with before that but I'd rather not air them on here as I don't know if he'll be on here having a nosey.

Would anyone be able to PM me a couple of names in the Belfast are please? Again, I'd rather keep this under the radar in case of anyone peeping on here.

Thanks in advance.

Contact the matrimonial office in the Royal Courts of Justice (90235111) and see if they will give you a few solicitor's firms who commonly appear in the courts. They will not be able to recommend a particular firm. All divorces start in the RCJ but to reduce the cost somewhat they can be transferred / remitted to the County Court for the Decree Nissi and eventually the Decree Absolute after the 6 week period has elapsed. Margaret McGauley of Bernard Campbell & Co, Meg Nixon of Nixon & Co, Eileen Moffett of Holmes & Moffitt, R Chesney, Wilson Nesbitt to name but a few. If there are no issues over money or property avoiding ancillary relief matters then the process is quite straightforward and many people are doing it now themselves.

Unfortunately there will be issues with all of the above as there are 2 children from the marriage.

Not for me...the missus would kill me;) but unfortunately my SIL is at the start of this messy procedure and so far the family don't think she has been very well represented as things seem to have played into BILs hands despite him being in the wrong(i'm being as impartial as possible and this does seem to be the case). I have advised her to seek comment from another couple of lawyers on Monday as to how things have went so far but does anyone here have recommendations of Divorce lawyers from experience?

Feel free to PM me if you'd rather this was kept low profile.

All guidance greatly appreciated

Cheers

For reference the courts do not make a judgement on who was 'in the wrong' and certainly do not punish -financially or otherwise - those who are. Its about a fair split of assets and access to children, if there are any.

Also, please please please ignore anyone who says you can DIY a divorce. The 'other sides' solicitors will maul your SIL with their knowledge and your SIL's lack of.

pgilc1 that's why I had the caveat saying if there are no issues or ancillary relief matters to deal with. Due to the high costs involved and many people aren't entitled to civil legal aid the only option is a diy divorce. Many divorces are 2 years separation with consent and completing the divorce petition and affidavit, serving it and lodging it with the Probate & Matrimonial Office at the RCJ doesn't take much effort. The staff there are more than able to assist the public with any questions. I personally know of 2 friends who went down this route and saved themselves quite a lot of money. Their only cost outlay was the court cost of the petition and sworn affidavit in support of the divorce application. When there are financial, property and children issues then yes I agree a solicitor is needed.

Hiya, giving this a bit of a bump as I could be doing with a bit of help.

My Ex and I have been separated since the start of November and are now looking to divorce. There are no kids involved, no joint financial policies/savings and the house is in her name. I wanted to go down the self-petition route as we werent contesting anything but she wants to use the services of a solicitor even though she believes that their input would be minimal.

Has anybody any idea as to what the costs would be involved in this?

Thanks for looking.
