Hi there,

I am at the beginning of the process and will be submitting a DIY divorce petition - I found this site today and its a wonderful source of advice and information.

Although I''ve searched for info on completing Part 3: Jurisdiction - and kind of get it but don''t - as its very confusing, I thought I''d ask for some help from this forum.

I am a British National (born and bred) and lived here all my life.
My STBX (learnt that today ;) ) was naturalised as a British National but has dual nationality. He has lived here continuously for 4 years.

So...what do I tick on the form? I thought I''d need to tick:

Article 3(1) of the Council Regulation (EC) No 2201/2003 of 27 November 2003

on the following grounds

The Petitioner and Respondent are both habitually resident in England and Wales

and ignore the rest?

And whilst I''m here can I check re Part 4: is this asking if you are dealing with any other courts regarding your marriage? And if not do I just tick:

no other proceedings in any court in England and Wales or elsewhere.

Thank you for reading and look forward to some clarification on this :)
