post written by a retired solicitor advocate
You have spent hours researching divorce.
You have watched videos.
Read articles.
Asked friends.
Possibly even spent thousands on solicitors.
And you still do not know what to do next.
Sound familiar?
The problem is not necessarily that you need more information.
You need someone who understands family law to look at your circumstances and tell you what actually matters.
That is where I come in.
Stop Going Round in Circles
One of the biggest problems I see is people spending months worrying about things that have little or no legal relevance.
Your ex has been unreasonable.
They have lied.
They have behaved appallingly.
They have threatened to take everything.
But what does any of that actually mean for your divorce?
What will the court consider?
What evidence do you need?
What are your options?
And, most importantly, what should you do next?
You need answers.
Not another six months of arguments.
Experience Matters
I am a former solicitor advocate with over 20 years' experience in family law.
I ran my own law firm.
I have dealt with divorce, financial settlements, children disputes and court proceedings.
I know the difference between something that sounds important and something that is legally important.
And I know that sometimes the best advice is not what people want to hear.
If your expectations are unrealistic, I will tell you.
If your ex is making threats that have little legal foundation, I will explain why.
If you are about to spend thousands fighting over something that is unlikely to change the outcome, I will tell you that too.
Because my job is to help you make sensible decisions.
Not encourage unnecessary litigation.
You Do Not Necessarily Need a Solicitor for Everything
You can represent yourself.
You can prepare documents.
You can negotiate.
You can attend hearings.
But that does not mean you have to work everything out alone.
Sometimes one focused advice session can help you understand a problem that has been worrying you for weeks.
You may need help with Form E.
Your ex's financial disclosure.
A proposed settlement.
A court hearing.
Child arrangements.
Or simply understanding whether you should issue proceedings.
The important thing is knowing your legal position before you act.
Why I Offer a Strategy Call
For ÂŁ195, you can book a strategy call with me.
We discuss your circumstances.
What has happened.
What you want to achieve.
What your ex is proposing.
And what your next steps should be.
Afterwards, you receive written advice.
Something you can read again when you need it.
Not just a conversation you struggle to remember.
Final Thought
Divorce is expensive enough without paying for unnecessary arguments and confusion.
You need clear advice.
Realistic expectations.
A sensible strategy.
And a plan.
That is what I offer.
