Divorce in UK

Hi all!

Long story short, my husband recently filed for divorce.

Since last April the law in the UK changed to no fault divorce and it is now an online process, I will respond myself (The acknowledgment of service).

  However, I may need legal/attorney advice in the future during litigation since my husband is intending to apply to the court for financial orders. Can anyone recommend the cheapest way to get legal advice in the UK please.

Any thoughts and experience exchange are welcome

Hi, I have no experience of following through on a divorce but I would suggest you contact your local citizen's advice office, if you haven't already. They might be able to help :- )

I would have thought that good legal advice might be better than cheap legal advice?

According to this, if you can't agree, then a judge will decide.

I would have thought that you need a local barrister to know where the sympathies lie for each judge?

If you can agree, Citizens Advice is saying

"You can make an agreement between yourselves, but it’s normally a good idea to talk to a solicitor once you’ve decided what you want to do.

You can find a family law solicitor on the Resolution website."

From looking at your past posts, you used an EU citizen to live in the UK. If you were granted Pre-Settled Staus when the UK left the EU and you applied under the UK's EUSS (to be able to stay in the UK) you will need to apply for Retained Rights for Settled Staus. Are you still on "Pre-Settled Status"?

No. I got settled status just recently (in fact, last week)
