    Hi I've been separated for about 4 years
    I got married up north as my ex's parish was in north Ireland so it's a uk marriage license .

    I've had very little contact with my ex but on our last conversation she was quite happy to go ahead with a divorce and would do whatever it takes for a quick no hassle divorce .

    There's no property / bills / shared expenses or children involved .

    Just looking for a few pointers as what way to proceed ?
    Thanks

    Can you not divorce in the UK?

    Google is your friend...

    Loads of people (including members of my family) have divorced with no problems whatsoever. Sort everything out between you, and it should be fairly straightforward. You probably won't even need a brief.

    If the ex is in the UK, then I believe divorce proceedings can be brought there. I'd check first though (get your ex to do it).

    Good point
    She definitely did live in n Ireland
    I'll check with her if she still is
    Problem is she is from the border region

    The question of where your marriage was celebrated is irrelevant now. All that matters is where you and your spouse now reside. If one of you lives in NI and the other in the Republic, then you can start your divorce proceedings in either jurisdiction. But if you both live in the same jurisdiction then you have to divorce there.
