Divorce

[paulnelson]

So this coming Christmas is two years since my wife packed her belongings and sought pastures new. It also allows me to apply for a divorce on the grounds of “Abandonment” which saves either party having to sling mud. I’m not wealthy, but I do own my own apartment, wife never contributed to the mortgage either before or since we have separated, but I am aware that she is still entitled to half. Last thing I want to do is sell my home and lose all I have and potentially end up on the streets divorce solicitor. I have spoken with a family solicitor which has put me off applying because of what I stand to lose, but I also want closure. What divorce settlements have you guys had to settle for or have you put it off because of what you stand to lose?
