obviously you have to have your wife agree to this and get her forms back asap plus no kids involved and finances all sorted..

£25 for a phone call or e-mail is deserving of at least a good beating imho.

Oh.
Not so simple :| |

I remember when I went to see a solicitor for the first time to get advice on obtaining a Parental Responsibility Order (This was before the law changed a year or so back and unmarried fathers had bugger all rights). I was told that the initial half hour consultation could be arranged at a discounted £75 - there seemed some genuine distain that I didn't greet this news in a joyous manner.

By:

Its a bargain chaps.
If the original poster wants to ** and moan- if you dont want to pay x per hour for a solicitor to handle your divorce. Dont get married and divorced in the first place. All your own doing |
|
By:
And there rests the case for the defence.

Is that meant to be humour?

Oh dear. I'm afraid the quality of new entrants into the law is depressingly low. I blame a lack of bullying at school. |

By:
The statistics show that the vast majority of divorces are caused by one thing.......marriage

By:
cooperman I did it myself too. If it goes to court and you need a barrister the bills will get much bigger. Give them the sack.

Dont get married and divorced in the first place. All your own doing I was just about to say the same thing. "A fool and his money are soon parted" sums up 99% of blokes who get married. And the original poster should ask himself this: would he rather give his money to his solicitor or his bítch of a wife? |

Im a trainee solicitor can i ask you a question in relation to your work... do you take it up the arsenal? |

By:
Had a massive fall out with solicitors my family had dealt with for over 50 years. Charged me a grand for doing virtullay nothing getting most of it wrong and then quitting half way through it.
Best bit was he couldnt understand why I had a problem paying his bill. The argument went on for ages and he spent more time trying to justify his fees than he spent on the work. If anyone knows of a solicitor who can do the job you want in a sensible time span without charging you a fortune please let me know. |
