what is the best way to get a divorce with out going to court?

Answer 1

i think when both of you agree on the terms of divorce, and also agree with the actual divorce.

Answer 2

I'm starting that process myself and hope I can leave the courts out of it. I don't live in the UK though so it's probably different from what it is here in Iceland.

If there are children involved it can be a little more complicated: First of all, you both have to agree that you want a divorce. If you have children, you also need to agree on custody matters, visitations, child support etc.

In Iceland people with children can't get a divorce without talking to a priest first, they call it councelling and trying to reconcile but I don't think the priests change your mind if you are gone that far.
The only exception is if either partner admits to having an affair. I know a lot of couples makeup affairs only to speed up the divorce procedure but I don't think that is a good idea as that could be used against them later in either custody matters or when dividing property.

If you own property, you must either sell it or decide which one of you will live there and buy the other one out. Make sure to get someone qualified to do all the paperwork.

Divide your assets and kiss each other goodbye.

Good luck to you. Hope it all works out well for both of you.

Answer 3

Not possible. You may not have to physically (and actually I think you have to appear at least once) go to court but you will have to go through the court system. But you can make it easier by working out your own settlement agreement between the two of you. However, you will still have to file court documents and pay the fees. Its just the law.

Answer 4

OK, This is how I'm doing mine. I called my local Court and asked for the family department and explained that I wanted to apply for a divorce, but wanted to do it without solicitors. They sent me all the info and the first section to fill. This way, you dont come into contact with the respondent, all documents are sent to you and you send back what is relevant once completed. It is pretty self-explanitary, they will provide leaflets are extra info for you to fill out and send back to them. Any documents that need to be presented to the respondent are posted to them, for them to fill in and return. Providing the respondent doesnt oppose divorce, and you manage to come to arrangements/aggrements in respect tot the house, car, pets, children, joint bank accounts, loans & debts you will avoid going to court physically and will need no contact with the respondent. I am now awaiting my decree nisi, followed by my decree absolute and I'm free! I started the divorce in Aug. It has cost me £107. It is normally around £300, but at the time I was unemployed so I was able to apply for a reduction.

Answer 5

You can do a pro se divorce, if all issues can be agreed upon. Contact your local district court for a pro se packet, that can be filled out and entered for the judge's signature. BUT, like I said, you and your soon to be ex have to come to agreements on everything.
COST - total, with filing fees, about $50

Answer 6

I think the only way to get divorced without the court is if one of you dies. You have to go to court for a legal divorce.

Answer 7

no you don`t have to go to court at all, i did it all through my solicitor all he had to do was return the papers to her.no need to swear to a judge if you are not contesting access/contents etc.i never went to court only 4 visits to solicitor all done in 4 months,best day of my life!!

Answer 8

Make sure you both agree on everything in the divorce.I know it is hard i have been there and done that.Sometimes you may have to give up some things that you don't want to give up.And it all depends on how bad you want out of the marriage.

Answer 9

Both agree on terms, only use one solicitor, that's what i did, no court 1 solicitor bill, all the best

Answer 10

You don't need to attend court personally, your legal representative does that.
