I am reliably told that there is an online version for @ £75 and if there is nothing to argue over then it is just a few emails and job done. I am told it is worth it if your not in any dispute.

If not and you want a real life lawyer etc then it sounds a little dear. I am sure you can get it for less. try CAB maybe.

IIRC the person innitiating the action pays the costs. In theory your husband may ignore it all anyway. ;-)

Here's an online site I saw some years ago, although I was already amicably divorced already.
We didn't pay anything or than the actual fees for the petition and the solicitor when we were putting the house into one name.

thanks for the info .....the reason why we probably havent got divorced ......is i think we have both got the words " well you can pay for it then "

ask her to get a quote and see if she can beat your quote. then tell her if she pays the costs you will pay the fees. then do it all online. send her the bills after completion.
