Just a quickie for those who can help. Spent last 12 months in court, bit of a waste of time and money really, and looks like we will be going to contested hearing.
I can no longer afford my solicitor. Can i self-rep for the day-to-day stuff, i.e. correspondence, negotiations about moving contact forward etc, directions hearings etc and just have a solicitor (or barrister) for the contested hearing, or has it got to be a solicitor or myself. I know i could not cross examine the ex myself!
If i have a mckenzie friend can it be a relative? Can they come to the directions hearings with me? Can they come to the discussions with the exs solicitors before hand or is that just me?
How easy is it to self rep? How understanding the the judge that i have no idea about what to do or court or anything?
Thanks
