  • Unless there are many tens of thousands or hundreds or millions of pounds of capital involved, try to work it out amicably. How does he feel about only seeing the kids every other weekend?

    "she is there to get you the best financial deal possible. got divorced in a total of 8 billable hours!"


    That is the problem, solicitors don't care about antagonizing the situation often.


    What do you want an extra £50 a month or an Ex who is willing to have the kids whenever and help out with other costs ?


    My Children and now 12-15 I got divorced after 15 years of marriage (her choice). I have the children one week ,she has them the next. We are not miles away so the kids can pop over if they wish and frequently appear at the others house outside of the normal arrangement.


    My Ex could have probably got a better deal financially (She walked away with a house fully paid for plus large pension and savings). It was though difficult to keep it amicable as soon as the solicitor was involved as the measure the solicitor used was how much money she got for her client.


    3 years on and we still share keys to each other houses and the kids come and go as they wish. Yes we still discuss money and the like but no more than when we were married.
