Wikivorce

Has anyone here used the wikivorce solicitor managed divorce and clean break consent order service?
I am divorcing my wife for admitted adultery :( and she will buy my equity share of the home.
As it's a fairly amicable break up we have been able to discuss the children and agree the consent order terms .
I am reluctant to go completely DIY but the wiki managed divorces look OK to me and are cheaper than the high st.
But are they as good?....Anyone please????:D

    Hi tinkerbell73,
    Thanks for your reply... how much financial info did they want? Will we need to provide payslips etc? and will it include details of our agreed equity split etc
    Are the forms easy to do,tick boxes or something similar and how long did it all take?
    One more thing...sorry...will my wife need her own solicitor or could she wikivorce as well??

    Hi Thegirl

    Thanks for the reply.
    Have had another positive response so it looks good.Are you getting the full package?...How much detail do they need for the agreed financial settlement? And what is there timescale?
    Many thanks and good luck.

    Mine was a couple of years ago but it was all done by email etc - the forums on wiki will definately help you - i seem to remember we just drew up what we agreed and they put it into the order my ex didn't even use a solictor just had to sign to say he was happy - went through the courts no problem all though to be fair their wasn't much assets more debt that i ended up with :-(
