[Solved] When do I have to pay my legal costs.

Hi all,
I am going through a divorce and money is tight, I have hired a fixed price solicitor and will have to pay the court costs as well. I have only just returned the petition so it is in the early stages. What I am concerned about is when I have to pay the bill? I am not entitled to legal aid but not a high earner and with all that is going on money is tight.
The proceedings may take a few months so that gives me a bit of time, then what?
Will I be able to pay off the court costs in instalments or does it have to be paid within a given time?

You need to speak to your solicitor about payments - it's up to them (well in your agreement with them) as to when you pay that bill, but any outgoings that they pay may need to be paid as they are incurred - it all depends on the solicitor really.
