Divorce Solicitors...

Got around to making myself an appointment to see a Solicitor - recommended we use one within the "resolution" group which helps to keep things amicable.

£170 per hour PLUS vat. Yeah, very amicable for their wallets. Wife told me her's is £185 per hour PLUS vat. Are these normal prices or are we being ripped off?

    You wait till you get the final bill, that when it doesnt become amicable.

    Mate of mine went to CAB and they put them in touch with a local CAB run thing which hosts four meetings in which you agree to the financial stuff and then that is it. I expect it helps if it is an amicable thing and the costs if there were any were negligible

    A work colleague is paying £275 an hour for her divorce. I've just had to cough up £321 for an abortive house purchase and he didn't have to do any work!
