Hi Chikky,
I take it you are talking about a divorce in a UK court.
We married in the Philippines in 2008 and divorced in the UK.
My divorce was a bit on/off to start with as she decided she wanted to come back to the UK and make our marriage work, but it did not.
We finally split up in February 2010, I saw a solicitor in early March and he thought it would take 4 months but my ex would not respond to the divorce petition sent to her so after giving her time to respond a second petition was served on her by a court bailiff, which again she did not respond to so it was
On the 7th January 2011 the Decree Absolute was granted.
So it took 10 months to complete.
Giving you tips is not very easy as all divorces are so different.
If both agree to it then it can be done without a solicitor, simply go to a local; court and pick up a divorce pack and complete it.
If one partner was in the UK and the other the Philippines and did not want a divorce then it could be very difficult.
There are others here who know the complexes of divorce much better than me, hopefully they will respond.
Have you tried searching for “divorce” in the forum?
All the best,
Mick.
