self representation for pro-announcement of decree

Thank you dukey and TBagpuss for your words.
The truth is that I submitted cross Petition however the judge (at residence order proceedings) said that why me paying costs and I have acknowledged the divorce petition.

My ex threatens me that he will tell my employer what a horrible person I am and even said that he will advise our daughter''s nursery

I am really worried that he will also use this against me during final hearing in child proceeding (althought it is said that two cases are separate) but still...

Yes and I have been issued to pay 50% of petition fee

Thank you for your replies...

To be clear he cannot make known what was written in the divorce application, it is a privileged application, if he does he will be subject to prosecution.

That helps :-)thank you

I would like to object paying 50% of fees - can I do it? if yes - what can be a good reason

Thank you

Financial hardship is your best bet, assuming that it applies.

To be completely honest, you were lucky not to get saddled with 100% of the costs never mind 50%. The value of that 50% has to be determined which may by done at the upcoming hearing.
