Accept his draft petition?

Hi my sister is in the process of getting divorced.

He has pinned adultery on her and threw her out of their home. She's now living back with her parents and her two boys. Luckily she managed to take them with her (not without a fight).

She had a petition drawn up on grounds of his DV and unreasonable behaviour. He's a womaniser!

But now he has written to her solicitor saying that he will defend her petition unless she accepts his draft petition. Which he wants to draft and allow her to serve it on him?? Why does he want to do that? Whats the tactics for this?

he also said that he sd get the boys alternat weekends half holidays and will pay her £200 pm. Prob is first she dosnt want to agree to his suggestion, 2ndly she now lives over 3hours from her MH so this arrngment wd be very disruptive to the boys, 3rdly the boys are going to a new school now so need to study attend clubs etc and 4thly £200 pm is not enough.

What sd she be asking of him??

She should go ahead with her petition as drafted, I assume, by her solicitor. It is highly unlikely that he will mount a defence and if he does, frankly, he doesn't stand much chance of success...

The money and kids issues are not possible to answer on the basis of the information that you have provided. Take a look at the various parts of the forums that deal with those issues and you will see the sort of information required for people to be able to help you.

the sitution is that he says he has evidence of her affair. this is anon I'm ok saying that she has admitted this to me. Obviously she's had such bad time in her marriage that that is what has ended up happening.

what do u think?

The reply doesn't change. She should get on and file her own petition as drafted.
