I've pushed and pushed but I'm running out of thick skin.
In short, solicitor says I've a good case for residency. But I cannot afford the costs to push it through court.
Legal aid seems isn't an option for that either.
She is still in my home along with the children but it's become untenable, last night wishing me dead and all sorts of abuse.
I'm fairly sure if the boot was on the other foot it would be hugely different.
She won't negotiate, do I just have to conced with out a large pot of cash the kids are going to halve to walk in order to restore a better living condition?
Awaiting a chat with my solicitor to discuss.
hello 🙂
never think about giving up on your children
Have you started court proceedings? i was like you thinking i couldnt afford a solicitor but tbh most family lawyers will just take your money and not do much of a better job than you could do on your own anyways with help from sites like this 🙂
im with mavic on this
... We all feel down, you're living through a very difficult time, but your kids need you to stay strong and see this through.
As mavic said, you don't need a solicitor to push this forward... We have many members that have gone it alone with much success.
She will have to negotiate at some point, see what the solicitors says but my advice is to hang on in there.
All the best
Mavic is writing like a true dad ! Well done Sir. Symondodj, only you can tell how far you can go, like others said, your children need you, more than that, they want you. Difficult times are what makes us stronger and better. Nothing lasts forever, however difficult it might be right now, it's not a permanent state of affairs, and there are great rewards later on if you stick through with it.

If you're wondering where your post is, I've moved it into its own thread in the Legal Eagle section and given it a new title. " Fighting for my Child".
