I have not seen my husband for about 9 yrs.
I know he is with another lady but dont know where he is to ask for a divorce.I am also with another and plan to marry next year but where do i start.Please cane anyone help?

Im not sure, but I seem to remember in my mums divorce a seven year thing relating to abandonment.

Go and see a solictor the first half hour is normally free as there has been no contact for nine years and if you can prove it a divorce will be easy

As the law stands, there are five ways for one or both of you to establish why you can no longer remain husband and wife, one of which is " If you've been separated for five years, even though one doesn't want to get divorced."

See: link


This link also explains how to get the process started.

Good luck!
