Get a divorce: How to apply for a divorce online using GOV.UK

How to divorce online using the GOV.UK website.

If you don’t have the time or willingness to go down the DIY route, the next cheapest option is to use an online divorce service. Easy Online Divorce offer transparent, fixed-price services for uncontested divorces, and there are options for every budget.

If your spouse agrees to a divorce or if you have been separated for more than five years, online divorce services are your best option. The ‘fully managed’ package gives the same (and often better) service than a high-street solicitor would provide, but at a fraction of the cost.

And often online divorce services are quicker because the central aim of their business is for their clients to divorce. In contrast, solicitors charge by the hour and make a significant amount of money from conflict between divorcing couples.

Please leave your comments and questions and let me know if there are any other topics you would like a tutorial on.

Watched this a few times and again whilst I was applying online. That was Friday afternoon. And on Wednesday evening, I recieved email saying "apllication approved and acknowledgement of service" has been sent to my wife. (I guess the divorce centre/courts aren't busy!). It is now £593. Really straightforward (uploaded photo of marriage certificate). 2 yr mutual separation, so hoping for a speedy outcome. Thanks for the video! Excellent!

I am a British Citizen and married a Filipina Sept 2015 in the Philippines, not in the UK. Unfortunately the marriage collapsed soon after and she never came to live in the UK with me. I don't have contact with her any more and am wondering how would I tackle the problem regarding her receiving the divorce petition, whilst she is still living in the Philippines?
I want to pursue the separation reason for divorce.

Hi, my issue is I'm not sure which way shall I go through ? as I'm victim of domestic abuse and as well we been completely separated for the last 2 years so the question is : Should I go with behaviour section or other section regrading we been separated for 2 years ? which way is quicker and less hassle ... I forgot to mention I m already divorced but only religious way and I'm holding certificate from Islamic high court in the UK so Im hopping, I will be able to get divorce legally . Many thanks

This video is very useful. I have a question about the examples section. Is this where you write and explain about what went wrong in your marriage in detail or does it have to be brief? Further, is there a later stage where you can provide a statement explaining the reasons in detail?

[africandawn]

What do you do if you dont know where your ex is living? And cant find out as there is conditions in place where we cant have contact and cant find out

[nikkion]

Excellent walk through online form completion. Thanks.
I saw the paper version, does the online form allow you to add solicitor's info if one has a solicitor but choose to use online application to mitigate legal cost? i.e one allows solicitor to response to to say defence/objection.
