Your questions are answered as under:-
1. Period for disposal can not be ascertained as it depends upon many factors like gravity of case, level of defence taken, pendency of cases in court etc.
2. If she says so then it is for you to decide whether or not you want divorce.
3. Expenses are normally of two types court expenses and lawyer fees which depends on experience and status of the lawyer. Hence can not be quantified by me.
4. If you can prove that you and wife are living separately and having no cohabitation for one year . Then no need to live in separate flat.
5. There is no mandatory requirement for sending notice .
Hope you have got your queries resolved . For any clarification and or legal help you may contact me through this website.
