Divorce Costs And Ancillary Relief.
1 Answers
Greetings each.
My friend and colleague has just received a County Court divorce petition issued on behalf of his estranged wife, as they have both now lived apart for over two years. There is no "other woman" situation. They just mutually agreed to separate.
There seems to be some confusion regarding costs etc, and also over a reference to stated "ancillary relief".
Does anyone know where all the legal jargon is explained in "layman's terms" please?
I have already advised my friend to obtain expert legal advice before proceeding further!
Be good!
Cheers.
