Thanks I went to court without a lawyer my second time round, but then had to get one, I found because my ex had one the judge was allowing her solicitor to run the show and only asking me to speak when required
I paid the £16 for this guide . Was worth every penny I found ...
I was advised to get a barrister due to the games my ex was playing. In short she was writing the correct things in statements to the Court but was going back on her statements to myself and my solicitor as well as being abusive to my solicitor.
My advise would be to get rid of your solicitor and get a direct access barrister . They’d give you a fixed price for work and it’d work out lots cheaper . The more paper work you do yourself the more you’ll save .
