No money left to continue to pay for solicitors

[MenopausalMrs]

I'm currently going through a very acrimonious divorce and to date have spent about £3K on solicitors fees and not really got anywhere.

Received a ridiculous offer yesterday from STBXH but I literally have no money left to keep on paying for my solicitor to negotiate.

STBXH is getting his costs paid for by his parents and will only negotiate through solicitors.

What are my options? Get a loan? Just stop negotiating?

I'm so stressed about it all....

Thanks

Represent yourself. It's not difficult. Go straight for a final hearing. The judge will make the decision and the judge will be fair.

Have you both submitted your financial information yet?

Yes, we have submitted financial disclosure.

He wants 65% of the equity in the house, even though I am primary carer with 2 children to house.

He also wants half of my pension including 15 years worth from before we were married.

I’m going through the same,my solicitors fees have been £600+ for each of the last 3 months plus £1600 that i paid up front so i’ve had ask my solicitor if i can pay £200 and have any money owing them taken out of the proceeds of our house sale when it sells which they said yes to,so it would worth asking to pay monthly installments

To OP

Consider applying for Legal Services Order, if they still exist, if your ex has access to more funding than yourself.

Your ex can be ordered to pay towards your legal costs. Might sound silly, but logic is that both get fair representation and proceeding may be quicker and hence cheaper overall. Any assistance provided by your ex will be taken into account when the final settlement is agreed or ordered by court. So he won't end up paying twice.

Good luck.

Ask your solicitor if you can pay in instalments. Mine let me do this.

Would mediation work and be any cheaper at this point? (Didn't really work in my case as exh decided the mediator was 'a twat' presumably because she didn't agree with everything he said.
