If it helps, Olympic Airways is very cheap for one way tickets back to London at the moment (from Dubai though) - under 1300 Dhs...
Good luck :( |

Re: Divorce
the way I see it...
he's the one wanting to divorce, so he needs your help with that right...if you don't cooperate, he's the one in trouble seeing he wants to move on and start a new life... so therefore you are in a stronger position... If he wants things to go as smooth as possible for him, together you will have to find a lawyer that is willing to look after both of your interests. If that is not the case, then don't go along with anything he's asking for. You came to the UAE with him, been married for over 4 years. It's not fair of him to just tell you to sling your hook like this cause he's fed up with things. You need to put your foot down girl, even if you don't feel like it now. Everything you do now will have consequences for your future. |

you are married, you came with him to AD, you have as much right to live in your apartment as he does...and if he wants you out, he will have to find you another place to stay, or move out himself. Don't let him threaten you. It's not fair to expect you to go anywhere, especially if you don't have money or a job. I assume he was alright with you not working before all this, so it will take time for you to get yourself sorted, and 1 month isn't enough for that. It's you that should be making the demands, not him. |

You can PM me if you like! If anyone has any advice for me would be grateful not working so not got any money so it will be EX hubbies solicitor and I will have to agree with him as it could go on too long he says? We got married in Mexico reading an earlier thread that was closed do I get to go to Mexico to get the divorce done?:D That would be worth it! We have not sat down yet and worked everything out properly but just wondered if anyone been in same situ!:confused: Try and stay positive and keep your chin up in what Im sure appears to be a never ending run of bad days without a light at the end of the tunnel for you right now Having been through a divorce 2 years ago, I know how you feel, and the emotional turmoil it puts you through, especially when there are kids involved. Its extremely difficult I know, but if you can, try and make it as amicable as possible, If you can agree on things without the solicitors having their two'pennyworth then it helps a lot, because his / your solicitor will obviously try and do the best for their respective clients, but they can often cause problems and some bitterness / rows for no reason, as we found out We were fortunate, as my ex and I sat down one day and agreed on what she wanted / what I could give / what I could keep, what to do about the kids and we literally drew up a letter, both signed it and took it to our respective solicitors and said we had agreed what was in the letter and told them not deviate from that........despite their best efforts to convince us otherwise, we did it the way we wanted and are now better friends than we ever were Most importantly, the kids, despite being upset / confused etc at the time, could see that Mum and Dad still got on and werent unduly affected by the seperation I know that may be an exception to the rule, but it worked for us The one major downside for me was that I had to leave the UK to come here to pay for it all !!! :( Good Luck with it all. It will get better in time, I promise |
