I have tried in vain to reconcile the matter but have had no luck as his family are extremely controlling and will not let us reconcile. I would like to start divorce proceedings and would just like to know what I am entitled to, we have a home, car etc ... Also, because my husband has asked for a divorce for a bizarre reason, can I divorce him on the grounds of unreasonable behaviour?

We run a B&B and also have another small business. We have agreed that this is not the best time to sell up and we have children still living at home. We have been married for 28 years and no other parties are involved. We have been in separate bedrooms for two months. What do I need to do in the first instance?

We had serious doubts about the wedding and our general relationship together and we have not yet consummated the marriage and shouldn't have gone through with the wedding in the first place. We are now separated. Is it possible for us to get an annulment as we did not enter the marriage thinking that we would spend the rest of our lives together? If yes, how do we go about it? Or do we have to wait a year and file for a divorce then?

Will I be liable for any of these debts if he should just take off as he has threatened to do? We have two small children as well.

However, my husband and I have spoken about a reconciliation so my question is whether you are able to put a divorce on hold and, if so, for how long? If the marriage then doesn't work are you able to continue with the divorce where you left it or would you have to start from the beginning again?

I am living in the marital home, paying the whole mortgage but I am planning on moving in with my new partner and living in his house. When I do, who will be liable for paying the mortgage once the house is empty? Would it be split 50/50 or do I need to still pay it?

They have received an offer but her husband is now refusing to sign the papers to complete the transaction. He has been violent in the past and was again recently when the police were called to sort out the situation. She has been advised that she will lose her 50% share of the equity within the property if she leaves the marital home - is this correct?

Upon leaving I signed over 100% of my house to her as a verbal agreement to the separation and divorce. We have no children. Since 2005 I have been in a new relationship and wish to re-marry. My wife will not agree to a divorce (I petitioned for divorce on grounds of two years separation with consent in 2007) but she did not respond to the papers at all. She is refusing all contact with me and I am pretty sure that if I petition on the grounds of five years separation without consent she will ignore the papers sent to her. What do I have to do to prove to the Court that she has received the Petition if she refuses to communicate? Should I try to employ someone to serve the papers on her?

He now lives in Australia and I know through connections he has told his new partner that he has never been married so I wonder if he has divorced me without my consent. We have been separated over five years.

My present partner and I are divorcing our previous partners and want to get married but we are concerned that our previous partners may attempt to cancel the divorce proceedings if they find out we are getting married to prevent it happening.

I'm looking to get divorced and I'm under the impression that the divorce and the settlement can be dealt with separately. I plan on filing the divorce Petition myself, and after this is sorted contacting a Solicitor about formalising our financial arrangements. My wife and I are on very good terms and have agreed informally the division of assets. The only marital asset I'm concerned with is the house which is in joint names. One of my friends has become concerned that being divorced first may leave me with less rights to marital assets and that I should deal with both matters together.

I have one child from a previous marriage and we live in a Council property, the tenancy of which is in my name only. Does my husband have any rights to remain in the marital home?
