I live with my wife and 2 chidren. My wife behavior changed since a year or two. She has become rude and does not care about me. She told me she is going for a divorce in a few months. I am ok with giving divorce.
I work and pay majorty of house expenses and she works as well.
Is is worth going to solicitor to get an idea on finances and children?
Are there any downsides of going to a solicitor?
I am not sure if i can get the legal advice with complete confidentialty, is this information i give to solicitor when i consult shared with the judge or any others?
The things i want yo know are:
1. If its better to wait for her to file for divorce or i do it first.
2. If i will be asked to pay house rent apart from child maintainance.
Also please let me know of anything that i do now can help me in the coming months.
Thank you.
Hi
I would take some initial advice from a solicitor. Many offer free 30 minute consultations and your lcoal CAB will hold a list of these firms.
Hi There,
.
I agree with Yoda, take some initial advice from a solicitor, but be mindful that it is just advice, you don't have to act on it and you can and should still use common sense.
.
It is very easy when you are fully involved in something to get cuaght up in what you feel is right and what is your right to have.
.
If you aren't careful you can end up paying out more in solicitors fees then you are argueing over with the ex, so the only person that actually comes out better is the solicitor who will quite possibly push you to fight for every penny possible so that they can continue getting paid.
