Fastest way to get a divorce in UK?

tenke

Hi,

I am looking for some advice regarding getting the fastest way to divorce in UK.

I dont know if I understood correctly when I read about it, but it seems that only when there is unreasonable behaviour ( violence ) or adultery, it is when a quick divorce will be granted...

What if 2 people just stopped loving each other, not violence or adultery involved?
Do they still have to wait 2 years being legally tied to each other, not being able to move on and marry again for that period?

We are 2 people, no children involved, amicable agreement

Thanks for any light you can throw on this...:(

unreasonable behaviour covers a lot of things - a solicitor once told me that she could quite easily write a truthful petition based on grounds of unreasonable behaviour for herself - but as she was happily married and wished to stay that way she had no intention of doing so.

It's pretty much all spin.

My husband committed adultury throughout our marriage. He has decided to divorce me on the grounds of unreasonable behaviour.........how?.............because I withdrew intimacy and affection when I found out about his affairs!!!


I also know someone who claimed her husband leaving the toilet seat up was unreasonable behaviour........if you need a reason, your solicitor will find one.

Bet you will be relieved to be shot of him. He takes arrogance to a whole new stratosphere doesn't he. Personally I'd not stand for someone divorcing me on those grounds. I'd be divorcing him for unreasonably expecting to recieve intimacy and affection after having affairs

How sad that after 2 years love for each other died.

Is there such a thing as a DIY divorce / the option to represent yourself? It's a high risk strategy unless neither of you wants anything from each other and are prepared to stick to that. I'm not sure that I would want to take any chances if there was property involved.

I was led to believe that the reason that divorces get strung out and messy is because of the time taken to get the financial arrangements agreed, and in part gaming by solicitors to generate more "work" (ie more income for themselves).

As I understand it, a couple cannot apply for a divorce until they have been married for two years.

My ex wife and I did a DIY divorce. You don't have to 'represent' yourself or even attend a divorce court. If you both agree the terms and who gets what, there is no risk.

The easiest and quickest way is for one party to agree to be guilty of some form of unreasonable behaviour. It doesn't matter who. There is no guilt in a divorce court and as a good friend of mine said... "At the end of the day, nobody else gives a !!!!!!."

He was right. Nobody else does.

Oh no, misunderstanding..we have been married for almost 9 years now..

There is no mention of them being married for two years, but even if there was they could still divorce.

No you don't have to separate for 2 years before divorcing. You will have to divorce on "unreasonable behaviour". You can also do it yourself by getting the papers and filling them in yourself.

Sorry it's come to this, but good luck in the process.

That sounds really helpful, could you let me know which unreasonabe behaviour you used?
thanks
