My mates soon-to-be-ex-wife appears to be doing a DIY divorce. Unfortunately she's making a right pigs ear of it. She's already had to cancel her next wedding once due to her trying to put silly clauses into her small print. His solicitor has sent her paperwork back several times asking her to amend or remove the offending bits and has resorted to telling her exactly what she should be putting in. She's going to have to postpone her imminent wedding again due to her lousy paperwork and reluctance to seek proper legal advice. She's recently sent his solicitor a very childish letter full of foul language demanding the solicitor stops harrassing her which has annoyed his solicitor so much he's about to take her to court for contempt of court over another matter that was going to be left to be sorted out amicably.

Oh dear! I have a solicitor who has been advicing me for the past year or so and has already cost me over £1k. My intention is to make sure everything has been agreed with the ex then get my solicitor to just check the paper work before I file it. I doubt very much that my ex will use a solicitor as she hasn't even instructed one since we split 18 ths ago.
