I've just downloaded the divorce forms I need from the courts website
It's five years this bank holiday weekend since the ex held me while his mate hit me and so that's when I considered my marriage over. Even though it took him months to finally move himself and his stuff out I told him every day the marriage was over and from that point we lived seperate lives. So I'm hoping that I can use that date as the start of a five year seperation and won't need his signature.
Then as soon as that's done me and Brian can finally get on with the wedding planning and I'll be able to drive you all mad with a million wedding planning posts

Yay good news. How expensive is the DIY 5 year separation one? I'm just glad I didn't have to fund mine the amount of arsing about Chris did! Now hurry up and get on with wedding planning!!!!!!

I think it works out at just over £200 which isn't bad really. It's just the court costs that have to be paid as there's no solicitors fees the way I'm doing it.
People keep saying go through solicitors and go for half the house seeing as how his dad gave us it as a wedding present and at times when he's been a total twat I've been tempted. But to be fair I've never put anything financially into the house. I know I struggled financially when he married me and wouldn't pay anything here instead paying everything for that house but at the end of the day I've paid nothing towards that house in York.
All his mates and family said when he started seeing me that as a single mum I'd obviously only be out for what I could get and to be careful I didn't sting him for what I could and so that's another reason I don't want to go for anything. I just don't want to give them the satisfaction.
I know if I went for stuff I could be quite wealthy but it would mean him selling the house which in turn means his dad would have to leave the house where he's lived for years and where he said he wants to die (morbid I know but he's been there about fifty years) I wouldn't feel too proud of myself seeing an old man in his eighties lose his home just because I wanted a pay off.
I'm happy with what I've got here with my Brian and my kids so that'll do for me. I'm even feeling positive about THAT BLOODY CAR

Fantastic news, and I agree with you about the house, you are better off making a clean break I think, and not getting embroiled in more heartache. I would be the same. Let him keep the house, it wont make him happy anyway and you can be shot of him in name and everything else!
I did it myself throught the court and it was very straightforward and cheap!!!!! The people at the court here were very helpful when i called them and i would recommend it if there are no compliations to deal with.

Going in the right direction!
It is true that we don't know what we have till we lose it, but its also true that we dont know what we have been missing till it arrives
