Hello, I have unequivocally told the father of my children with whom I cohabit that we are separating. He is avoiding conversing with me directly. I thought it was denial but it is apparent that he is 'lining up his soldiers'. Whilst not my preferred way (prefer direct negotiation first), I am doing same. I am not from the area where we live & have no family in UK. Can anyone recommend a solicitor that can support me with making good decisions. I feel very exposed doing this alone.

I think you'd need to say whereabouts you live to get good local recommendations!

Get on google.
Look up family solicitors near you.
Give a few a call.
Find out what there initial consultation fee is.
If any offer a reduced rate or free half hour, go to them and see which one you feel most comfortable with.
Then go for it.
What is your living situation?
Is he your husband or a partner?
Who is the primary carer?
Do you both work full time?
Do you know what he earns?
What pensions, savings and assets he has?
Do you have any of those things?
You will need all this info and we can help you a bit if we know a bit more about your circumstances.
