Hi , I'm looking for some advice/knowledge on what happens in a directions hearing.
I filed for divorce , received papers back from court In which ex said he intended to defend had enclosed a statement 90% of which was lies but agreed that marriage was irretrievable.
The covering letter from the court said in I didn't receive a copy of an answer from them in a month I could proceed , so I waited , received nothing & applied for nisi .
Today I received a letter saying that as his statement sets out his opposition so should be treated as a answer & we now have to have a hearing of this cause.
I'm hoping someone has some experience of this do I need to take anything? Will I be expected to speak? Why has the judge not noticed he agreed the marriage has broken down! I can't afford a solicitor which is why I was doing it myself , & didn't claim costs as I knew he'd kick off.
Thank you in advance
