    It's quite straightforward if you don't have kids or property. I was looking at using DIY Divorce for a little help, their fees were low but now that my ex works overseas, it has to go legal because I'm pretty sure a judge won't sign off on our current agreement

    It may be useful for each party to get legal advice. This doesn't necessarily mean using the solicitor to draft the agreement or do other work. Consider the risk of 'gaslighting'.

    'Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation that seeks to sow seeds of doubt in a targeted individual or in members of a targeted group, making them question their own memory, perception, and sanity.'

    You give evidence of this - personal evidence, affidavits and documents showing you are living apart.

    It is definitely worth talking to a professional in this area at least once. A lot of people don't know the full extent of their obligations or responsibilities in this area.

    Also the fact that any separation agreement can be changed if either of the parties have a change in circumstances before divorce.

    Once you have been legally advised it is hugely beneficial if you can come to an agreement between yourselves as it is cheaper, quicker and easier
