.... As the solicitor is a negligent plank, the wife might want to think about contacting the court direct, or better still changing her solicitor! Or she could give the solicitor one more chance by sending him this exact sentence in an email:

"further to our discussion, I would like to bring your attention to the fact that my husband has made public the contents of documents which I provided to him as part of the disclosure process, in contravention of the implied undertaking that these will remain confidential unless referred to in open court. I would like this matter brought to the attention of the court. Please confirm you will do so as a matter of urgency and that in the interim you will write to my husbands solicitor asking him to remind his client of his legal obligations and requiring him to remove the information from his facebook page and all other public sources forthwith"

Gah! Really cross this wasn't dealt with properly by her divorce solicitor. Its neither rocket science, nor a particularly unusual occurrence, so it is scary they don't know how to deal with it.

Nicki, a good exact sentence. It is a difficult thing to change a solicitor in mid flight, which is no doubt why you are suggesting the one last chance.

But I am thinking that the appropriate way to address this if the solicitor must be given a last chance would be to make a complaint to the senior partner. Would you care to comment?

Mmmmm. The solicitor might be the senior partner . But I suspect more likely is fairly junior and inexperienced, in which case he or she should be being supervised by an experienced partner, and the OP should know who that is. A call direct to the supervising partner might resolve the issue and be less of a nuclear option than a complaint to the senior partner at this stage.
