how soon is too soon?

hi just been looking at the divorce procedure as I plan to petition on the grounds of unreasonable behaviour. We split up a couple of months ago and he moved out shortly after. We`ve been on the rocks for the past year at least and I wondered whether I should go for it and get it over and done with then pick up the pieces or wait until I feel a bit stronger? We`ve agreed everything re the child, house, car etc in a draft Consent Order which we both signed so I can`t see it being a nasty process, I plan to do the majority (except consent and Clean Break) myself and was wondering if those self repping think it`s straight forward enough? Thanks in advance

Yours sounds straight forward. If you feel ready I would get on with it. Some people dont start the process of recovory until the divorce is done and dusted. Only you know what type of person you are. It will still take a while to get divorced as the courts are very busy. So you may as well start. Assume that it will be a tough time and everything is a bonus if it just sails thru. Good luck and come back and tell us how you got on. Be strong. Chris.

If you are both in agreement its very straightforward.

Still best to get the consent order and absolute done by a sol.

Should only cost about £500 all in.

thanks guys,

yeah was thinking of getting a sol to cast an eye over my completed petition and get them ready to do the consent etc once acknowledged, I can`t see any point in hanging around he seems pretty set on the divorce and I`m only beating myself up hoping he`ll come back and woo me when really there wasn`t much to save. He`s been married before so potentially it`s easier for him to walk away and he`s walked away from the child from his first marriage too which obviously I don`t want to happen this time, but there is only so much s**t you can take, I`m having to learn to bite my tongue!!!
