I am going through a divorce and have no confidence in my solicitor and i need advice desperately.?

i dont know what i am entitled to. my husband has his own business and drives a porsche and lives in a big house with his girlfriend. he doesnt pay me a penny. we have a 10 year old son.I am going through a divorce and have no confidence in my solicitor and i need advice desperately.?
Then you need to find a new solicitor. First off, he should be paying child support for your child. I'm not sure what the laws are in your country so its very hard to help you out.I am going through a divorce and have no confidence in my solicitor and i need advice desperately.?
depending on the country your in, you should be entitled to half of the total wealth of both of you put together. all assets are checked and totalled, and if one side cant pay they have to sell buisnesses, cars, houses, whatever to make up the money.





and the person who has the child usually gets money from the other side (child maintenance) this is a percentage of there wage (eg if they get a 拢100 and your entitled to 40% you get 拢40)
If you are in the uk, you will have to phone the CSA, as courts etc don't deal with child maintenance unless your ex wants an informal agreement drawn up (ie you and he agree between yourselves) CSA only backdate from the date you get in touch with them and apply for it so get on the phone tomorrow!! As for your divorce settlement, it should be a 50:50 share of all assets, but a friend told me that when children are involved, sometimes it could be 60:40 in your favour. You really need a better lawyer if yours isn't providing this info already. Look under Family Law and good luck.
Check with the Bar Association and find out if this lawyer has any complaints against him. I am astonished that you and your son are penniless! Register your information with the ';dead beat dads'; registry. Go to Court and start action for child custody payments. Do not worry about loosing your son, you won't, he is 10 and can choose his parent or at least have a say in the matter. There are many lawyers who will see you the first time, for 0 dollars. Some that will take your case, and not charge you anything until the outcome. Some that will take nothing, if they loose. You need a good and smart lawyer, who only specializes in divorces. I have always found that the ';women'; of this profession to be the best. Start looking...
Go and get yourself another solicitor its vitally important you have confidence in therm.


Go to the CSA for child support believe me he wont like them come knocking but now you have to go down that road.


As your child is only 10 then you should be entitled to remain in the marital home or the divorce settlement may be 60:40 split in your favour. The child is important here and his fathers responsibility only stops once he gets to 19 for Child support.


You really do need a solicitor though.


He moved the girlfriend in quick didnt he!! that might go against him.


Anyway good luck and keep smiling it takes awhile but you will come through it and yes you will be a stronger person.
Get a solicitor you can trust. You are entitled to half of whatever he has.





He has the cheek to call himself a father,How long has he got away with not paying child support,Maybe it can be backdated.


Good luck,Sounds like your well rid of the waste of space.
leave him
Ofcourse you are entitled to child support. It would depend on the laws of your state, if you will get alimony or not. If the business was aquired after you got married, you should be entitled to half of the business, he can buy your half, and you two should sell the house and split the money in half.
my advice to you if you do not know what you are entitled to get, is to seek a solicitor that actually deals with family law.


seek one out and go for gold.
You are entiltled to half of everything as you are married to him, he also has to pay you maitenance for your son. if you are on benefits you should be entitled to free legal aid. in my experiance the smaller the firm of solicitors the better give big falsh ones a wide berth as they just want your money.
Anything that was obtained through the marital time period is fair game, sweetheart, and personally I think you should stick it to him!





Talk to your solicitor and let them know how frustrated you are...or go see another solicitor secretly to get a 2nd opinion. You will be legally entitled to proceeds from his business for years to come AND you get to have spousal support and child support. Go get it...good luck
your entitle to HALF of everything...............
you will get half of just about every thing but thats not the most inportant thing your son is try not to be sad crying ect around him as this will rub off on him keep yhe head up coz there iz allways a better day round the corner ps if you dont trust your solicitor go with your gut feeling get rid or just let them do there job trust is what u need good luck
If you have no confidence in your solicitor then why not? change solicitor if you need to. You should be getting child maintenance and am sure you are entitled to other assets too.
Get a new solicitor. When you pay someone to do a job for you and they don't, they get fired. You are entitled to at least half of your combined holdings or at least that is the case in the States. You also should be getting child support. Here, deadbeat dads get tracked down and in some States they lose certain rights if they don't pay, like their Drivers License. Good luck to you....
