  • If it's a civil partnership, it's not the same procedure as it is for marriage to dissolve it. Procedures etc at this link. Also the forms are different.

    But....but...I got cake as part of the marriage... divorce doesn't come with cake :(.

    I found that really funny :rotfl:

    Although, there could be cake.....

    It sounds like you still get on really well and enjoy a laugh - why not have a joint divorce party? Go all out with the theme, show off your new decorating, make a divorce cake (black icing!?!), and ask people for 'divorce presents' - a tenner towards the divorce per guest. Invite 34 people and jobs a good'un.

    Hah that's not a bad idea. Yeah we have a laugh about it, there's no point in harbouring animosity or anything like that. If we still loved each other we'd still be together, but we don't, and you can't control how you feel, so it is what it is. If we resented each other for that, then we'd be no better than the westborough baptist church.

    It looks much the same. Form D8, state your reason, then the next two forms are likely the same but with "civip parnership" on rather than marriage.

    Hi, my circumstances are similar but not quite the same. I am married but my husband moved out 18 months ago. We have no communication whatsoever, he sees our 2 daughters (13 & 18) once a week. The mortgage is in both names but he doesn't contribute. He pays 170 per month 'towards the girls'. The house needs work and I am happy to borrow on the mortgage for this but not if he'll benefit. I am also currently employed on a temporary contract due to downsizing at work and had to take out a debt repayment plan when things started going wrong as money was one of the issues in my marriage breakdown despite being reasonably well paid. Can anyone give me any advise please as to who is responsible for the house and how to get things sorted legally, cheaply and quickly. Also, if i applied to extend borrowing on the mortgage would the DMP stop me? Thank you.
