Just received a email from my stbxh solicitor stating it’s of urgency to get in touch with her regarding our consent order which was refused by the judge. She has given me until 4pm tomorrow. How serious are solicitors letters ? She has drafted a letter to send to the court by they aren’t facts at all & feel like I’m being pressured to just sign my share of the house over because he wants me to. x

What does your solicitor say ?

Dcadmam001 · 30/11/2020 19:26

Don’t do it - she hasn’t got your interests in her remit

They deliberately write things like urgent to stress you. Stupid games they play.

Forward it to your solicitor, call them first thing tomorrow and let them deal with it.

I don’t have a solicitor. What are the implications of me not replying ? I feel like she is a complete bully the solicitor but I guess she is only going by what she has been told by him.

you're under no obligation to obey a solicitor unless there's an attached court order. She's not on your side, doesn't need your explanation, and you don't have to reply.

Thank you. I’m fed up of the constant crap I get sent from her. Always “ you must reply in 7 days “ you have until 4pm tomorrow bullshit

My exh's solicitor wrote I needed to remove my new blinds immediately as they prevented exh looking into my house..of course I ignored it. Solicitors without a court order are paid shit talkers..

Omg are you serious ? Wtf is wrong with these solicitors.

Yes they are paid bullies, they can argue back on your behalf.

If the court's rejected the consent order, it probably means they don't think it's fair.

How are you going to get a fair settlement without a solicitor?

Bence69 · 01/12/2020 08:24

I definitely need a solicitor I know that now. Feel like I’m being bullied into signing whatever he sends me through the solicitor & she sounds like a right arse to be honest.

Think of your exh's solicitor as ex with a pen..
Ignore ignore ignore.

My STBEX's has written a lot of nonsense to me, but then she only knows what he's told her (which is a load of lies).

That said, I do think you need to get your own advice or you could end up being disadvantaged here. Did the Judge say why they refused the Consent Order? It might be because they felt it was unfair to you.

Please see a Solicitor. Most will give you an initial free or reduced cost meeting.

Thanks for the reply, yes it was refused as seems unfair too me. I will definitely see a solicitor x
