Set your store out early on - no matter what has gone on between the two of you to cause a relationship breakdown, the children must absolutely not be affected any more than necessary by it. This is what the solicitors will also drum into both of you. They work in the interest of the children and won't put up with playing silly beggers with money.

Good luck x

Good grief! Things have changed then. When I got divorced my ex and I were happily sorting things out until the solicitors got involved and then he suddenly changed his tune and I got no maintenance at all. I don't recall the solicitors giving a thought to the children.

Come to think of it I still haven't had my CSA claim sorted and my youngest will be 31 in May! I wonder if my claim is still sitting there and I'll get a response one of these days.. LOL.
