Can anyone offer any advice?
H & I have agreed to separate and are about to start mediation.
I have been told I am not eligible for legal aid so will have to fund myself.
Initially it looks like about £450 a month if we have 2 mediation appts per month, not considering if I need to consult my own solicitor in the meantime at £200 an hour.
This is going to be very difficult for me to afford - and I'm not sure what to do.
I have access to some funds in a savings bond which I do not really want to cash in until our finances have been agreed (if at all) because the surrender value is currently quite a bit less than I invested.
Other than that I have my p/t income and tax credits but with legal fees I will end up going overdrawn if I don;t cash in the savings.
What should I be doing?!!
