Divorce cost?

[has]

Can anyone tell me how much a divorce is? Does the cost differ betwwen a 2 or 5 yr desertion? Does it matter on what grounds you are divorced under? Just about to go through it & need alot of answers.

Hope you can help???????

£340

The only ground for divorce is that the marriage has irretrievably broken down. There are five ways, known as the five facts, of demonstrating that the marriage has irretrievably broken down. One of the following has to be proved:-

1. Adultery
2. Unreasonable behaviour

3. Desertion - Desertion must be for a two year period against your wishes without justifiable cause. This particular reason is seldom used these days.

4. Two years separation and both parties consent to a divorce
5. Five years separation when only one of the parties consents

... that page states £300, but it went up to £340

From my experience it's not the cost of the divorce itself but the settlements of financial and children arrangements (if there any) that escalates the whole thing - I spent £8000

£340 is the cost if you do all the paperwork yourself, and don't use a solicitor.

I did it, it's not rocket science.. if everything is relatively straight forward and both parties are in agreement.
