Online divorce

SuperSonicDog

I’m looking for advice around the online divorce via gov.uk.

I want a divorce, sell the house etc but he doesn’t and he’s dragging his heels refusing to do anything. 

I’ve seen this is a way of a cheap divorce without fighting (I don’t want to fight, I just want to move on with what’s mine and he has what’s his) 

I spoke to someone from a company called amicable, but they only deal with couples who are amicable 😂 and we’re not. But she did tell me about the  consent order to separate our finances. So if I used the online divorce who does this part? I’ve seen it does ask about this on the links about how the divorce would work and whether we’d need this and I’m guessing we do. Would we get a solicitor each just to work this but out? Or doing it online is the expectation that we’re sorting it ourselves??

thanks for any advice

I presume you haven't discussed a split of your finances or had an official accounting of what this might involve?  What's yours and what's his is often a difficult conversation and needs to include proper information with regards to the value of pensions etc.  If he doesn't want to sell the house maybe the value of his pension being transferred to you would cover your share?

If he's going to did his heels in I fear it will probably mean you'll need legal advice and representation for this.  You don't want to fight, but he doesn't want to divorce - that means that to get what you want (a divorce) you're going to have to fight.

In the marriage who has more financial power? Higher wages / bigger pension etc. who has the most to lose? 

You sound as though you've already mentally checked out of the marriage - are you still living together?
