Divorce info

Hi,
Having recently gone through divorce I wanted to share info on a local courts website that others might find interesting. It's at http://www.courtsni.gov.uk/en-GB/Judicial%20Decisions/PublishedByYear/Pages/Home.aspx

If you pick a year you will get a list of judgements for that year. Look down the list in column 1 for entries such as "C v C". In the 3 rd column it will list "Master" instead of the actual court name. Further to the right is a link to the document containg the actual judgement.

I found this very helpful as the judgement will often refer to previous judgements which shaped the law.

It also provided me with ammo to ask my solicitor relevant questions and eventually to see that I needed to ditch both the solicitor and barrister, who were bleeding me dry.

Thanks to all who answered the original question.
Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

    Well done. It just goes to show how powerful information can be. Solicitors and barristers can be so expensive and sometime just a complete waste of money.
