How to start divorce proceedings, who do i contact first, i dont have the money for a divorcee, have been living in the same house (detail removed by Moderator) or so, its just awful, ive been unemployed roughly for (detail removed by Moderator) years, so do you have to pay for a divorce? Thanks in advance.

Hi sweet4,

Thank you for posting. A good place to start would probably be with your local domestic abuse service if you are not already in contact with them. They should be able to give you some ongoing practical and emotional support with everything and may also have access to legal advice. If they don’t have access to legal advice directly, they should know of solicitors in the area who have a good understanding around the dynamics of domestic abuse. Details of your nearest service: https://www.womensaid.org.uk/womens-aid-directory/

You could contact Rights of Women who offer free legal advice, they also have a lot of useful legal information on their website. The Family law advice line offers advice on DV & abuse, divorce and civil partnership dissolution, relationship breakdown, issues relating to children. The Criminal law advice line offers advice on sexual offences, DV and harassment, police and criminal justice system, rights of victims, witnesses and defendants and criminal injuries compensation. Their website includes details and opening times for their specialist legal advice helplines and details on eligibility for legal aid in respect of domestic abuse: http://www.rightsofwomen.org.uk

Keep posting to us when you can.

Best wishes,

Lisa
