Cost of divorce
“If one party has filed for divorce the other party can't. Also would divorce cost £6,500 and go on for 8 years?”
It is correct that normally only one person at a time can ask for a divorce, although the other can answer that request with a “cross-petition” i.e. their own request within the same paperwork. But if there has been considerable delay it can be thrown out and the other person can then start.
The case would be an exceptional one if it lasted anywhere near 8 years. An undefended divorce costs £1190 with this firm.
