Hi all,
a brief but quick one. Close friend has sought advice regarding applying for a divorce from her husband. He has looked into same (does not want divorce for childrens sake, does not work, does not contribute to house, mental abuse to wife etc.. I could go on..)
She is the main (only) source of income. He told her that if he refuses to get a solicitor to represent him, then the divorce cannot proceed. Her solicitor said technically he is right.
She is rather stressed as you can imagine and I am just wondering if she has heard all this correctly. Surely that can't be right or else a number of unwanted divorces (from one party) would not go ahead?
Advise welcome.. thanks.
