but went to see a solicitor in September when he told me it was a straightforward case and would be over and done with in 3-4 months. I am still waiting to be taken to court. Is this an acceptable time span especially as I am not denying anything?

It does seem rather long and drawn out and I would suggest that you contact your solicitor as he may have put it on the back burner. Just gently remind him you are still there and have heard nothing from either him or the courts.
Why some solictors can get results sooner than others I would suspect is all down to money!

One of my friends have once applied for a divorce. The case went for eight years. Either the judge will be absent, or transferred or respondent not present. If every thing is OK the respondent will ask for adjournment. She contested the case. Finally the case was dismissed when one day he went late to the court.
All his assets were taken by that woman, his apartment, furniture, gold ornament etc. He coolly went and married somebody else without the divorce.
So if there is delay what one can do? You are talking about 3/4 months.

As the respondant in the case youre kind of bound by the actions of the petitioner. It could be that the petitioner has not completed the relevant paperwork or provided the court with documents they may have requested. It could also equally be as someone hinted at earlier that the court is busy and simply hasnt allocated the case to a judge yet. If you know the case number you could phone the county court hearing your case and find out the status, failing that just hang on....

No it is not ,after all why should you be kept dangling on string.
Go and kick your solicitors behind and tell him to get things moving,which he should have done anyway.Tell him you won't pay him if he doesn't get a move on.
They are as bad as the con's they represent some of them...

No but it gives an indication of how busy the Courts are

What are you worried about? The law moves at its own pace. Doesn't seem that time is particularly material. Results will be the same, or has your ex changed her mind. I would ask her.

Did you stick your "johnson" where it does not belong?
If you did, then you are guilty! I hope she leaves you penniless!
