Hi there,
Could anyone help me answer the following:
1. Which partner should apply to be the petitioner and which should be the respondent? (we are both agreeing to the dissolution of our civil partnership, so does it matter who makes the application?) Are there any legal advantages to who it is?
2. On the form, it asks "10.1 Do you want to apply for a financial order?". We have no assets except our respective savings and pensions and both of us have agreed that we do not wish to make a claim of the other's assests. Am I correct in thinking that the petitioner should therefore tick "No" to this question since we will be applying for a Consent Order instead?
3. One partner is moving out to a new place, but it will be in a different part of the country (Scotland) and the other will remain in England. Which Court do we apply to? English or Scottish? Does this depend on who the petitioner is?
Many thanks
