Thank you both for your responses, it’s a tough one I don’t know whether I am strong enough to do this that’s why I want to get enough information as I can before doing this.
Sorry, I didn’t know much about this so when I said I wanted a lawyer I didn’t realise I didn’t need one, but I have a question if only the defendant needs a lawyer what happens if they try to make accusations against you? I assume that’s going to be the case in a fight like this, I’m just really scared about what position it could leave me in- in the end. Also I wanted to ask if anyone knows if there’s possibilities of settling this out of court and how you can go about that, I just want to know what options I have.
I have already looked into family lawyers for the divorce, they have told me that the abuse is completely separate to the divorce since you no longer have to give reason why a marriage has broken down. But I just wanted to ask if anyone has had abuse play a part in the divorce/ whether it can be included in the divorce at all?
