I'd like to make the most of my first meeting with the solicitor. Not sure how the situation will turn out with stbxh but if we come to an agreement, I plan to do things myself to save costs. Any ideas of good questions I should ask them please?

Costs, whether you're entitled to legal aid, how much you might you get more than 50/50 by way of a split of finances, timescales

Make sure you have the correct facts with you eg deeds, salaries, pensions. Make sure you know what you would like to get from a divorce and what your H is likely to want. Potential areas of conflict. Likelihood of circumstances changing eg remarriage, cohabitation.

And then ask about fees, timescales. You don't know yet whether you can do it by yourself.
