Hello,
Il well past the decree nisi stage and we are trying to figure out a financial settlement. At the moment, it’s in my husband’s favour and will leave me paying a big mortgage (with little disposable income left) until I retire at 67 (I’m almost 50). When I filed for divorce back in 2018 (after a long loveless/sexless marriage) I just went for the quick £500 divorce with split everything 50/50 but it got complicated when he wasn’t paying anything towards the children (still hasn’t) and it was obvious that I was going to be looking after them (the eldest is now 18 though and will be going to university this year and he splits his time between the two of us).
I used a group of solicitors (begins with a C) and I’ve had 4 solicitors with them in the time I’ve been with them through people leaving. They don’t seem switched on and my husband’s solicitor is a lot more on the ball and is protecting his hefty pension and inheritance. My solicitor has emailed me again to confirm details of assets and bills etc. but, again, her email is riddled with errors! She seems to be getting walked over by my husband’s solicitor. It is taking ages too and it seems they only look at my case every few weeks.
What can I do to change to completely new solicitor away from that group? Will it cost me more? Do I start again?
