Don’t worry, this does not have to mean that you are at a
disadvantage. This BLOG will take you through all of the
procedures and deal with all of the principles that you need to
know to ensure that you achieve a similar result, in a similar time,
to what you would achieve if you had a solicitor yourself. Your
spouse’s solicitor will have to deal with you in the same way they
would deal with your solicitor.
If possible, keep all communication with your spouse’s solicitor
civil (and they should do likewise). Do not use letters as an
opportunity to say all the bad things you want to say about your
spouse – this will get you nowhere and reduce the chance of
reaching agreement. Keep everything relevant to the issues at
hand, as indicated by this BLOG.
Keep copies of all correspondence with your spouse’s solicitor
and make a dated note of any telephone conversations.
