Soon to be a poor one.
I’d rather be pragmatic and comparatively wealthy
I feel for you, wonder what the other half of the broken relationship is thinking ?
Also, one of the reasons I want to sit down with her and talk it through is that SOOOO much is lost via bloody the me-solicitor-solicitor-her channel.
She thinks I don't want to go to mediation. her solicitor says "he's refused mediation".
I'm in the ruddy process of trying to arrange it!!!! I can't be more clear that actually looking for a time and date for mediation!! But can I get this through...!
DrP
Does she know that you post on STW?
I’d bet she’s following this thread.
Is there no relative that can pass messages to her if she will not speak to you?
If her solicitor is twisting the message about mediation it might be worth getting in touch and suggesting "gently" that either they pass the correct message along without distorting the facts to ensure they maximise their earnings or you will refer them to the Law Society and then contact the Law Society regarding them anyway.
If they're twisting that message, then what else are they messing up.
have you asked this question on Mumsnet??
I thought this was all done & dusted, I'm so sorry to hear you're having these troubles.
I split and divorced around the same time as you, yet myself and my ex have both owned our own homes for well over 12 months now. I guess I was lucky in just paying a few grand in solicitors fees, but neither of us wanted it dragging out, it only makes it worse for everyone involved, especially the children.
Good luck, lets hope her solicitor makes her see sense very very soon.
