How much does DIY divorce cost and more questions

Hi. My husband and I have been separated for a year now after he had an affair. I want to get divorced but not sure whether he does or not because we don't have any contact.

I am going to divorce on the grounds of unreasonable behaviour.

Can anyone tell me how much it would cost to just get the forms and submit them to the crown court myself. Is it just the one form?

There are no assets to split and our son is 21 so it would just be a divorce, nothing financial.

I'm living in the family home as neither of us wants to sell. He still uses this address for his post etc. Will the court sent the forms to my address for him to sign. I don't know where he is living to get them sent anywhere else.

Wikivorce offer a service whereby a solicitor will manage your divorce from start to finish for £179 (see right hand side of this page).

However we also provide a guide to enable you to DIY the divorce. Our free DIY Divorce Guide lists the forms and documents you will need. There is no charge for the forms (download from Wikivorce or collect from court) but there are court fees of £385 (£340 to Petition and £45 to obtain the final Decree Absolute).

What is happening with the house? Will it be sold, or transferred to one of you? What about pensions - do you have any - are you keeping you own or sharing them? Although there is no equity in the house it may still be worth considering formalising your financial split with a Consent Order.

You should really find out where he is living and use his actual new address on the petition form.

Hi

There is a lot of equity in the house as the mortgage is almost paid off. Neither of us want to sell the house yet as he still uses it for business purposes and I still want to live there. We have agreed to share the house for now.

I have a pension which I have paid into since I was 18. He doesn't have one. He doesn't want any of my pension. There's no savings to split.

We no longer have any contact with each other - he won't respond to any text messages I send him and won't tell me where he is living.

He might sign a consent order if I could get one drawn up. It would just be that we split the proceeds of the house 50/50 and I keep my pension. Hence I'd just like to divorce for now so I'm no longer married to him. Not sure if I can do this.
