In Scotland.
Separation Agreement signed (legally binding asset-division-on-paper)
Proceeding to actual Divorce & so actual division of assets (Pension mostly)
Part of Sep Ag is that the house will be put in my name so Conveyancing needs done. I received Legal Aid for the Separation Ag but will have to pay my own Conveyancing costs (£600). I've been given a new trainee for this bit who phoned 1st Dec & queried the basis of the already signed Sep Ag her more senior collegue handled. This rattled me a bit. I emailed (copied both in): neither have responded.
She then asked to send a set of docs re the Conveyancing. I did so. Asked for confirmation of receipt. Twice. Was told I'd be responded to by 20th at latest.
Nothing.
This morning, an email asking me to confirm (which I did last June! - they have been ridiculously slow & quite poor with 'advice' too) I agree Convey fees.
Still no reference to documents or query re Sep Ag advice.
I'm tempted to email back & say once they confirm they have my docs & all in order we can proceed. They may then 'dump' me / refuse to proceed unless i cough up the £600 which I can & will do but would rather have some reassurance that they will act in a timely manner & respond to me re docs etc.
Crap as they are, I really dont want to start from scratch / go elsewhere for conveyancing. If I have my grumble, do I take the risk that they dump me ??
