As I was not legally represented the judge asked us to come in, in person. He wanted to check that I knew the nature of the settlement and that I was not being exploited. Despite having no children, it was a concern of the court that someone without legal representation wasn't being abused by the legal system. I trust that you, with children, will be as well taken care of you.<br /><br />♥ Suburbia ♥<br /><br />PS: And 4 years later, I'm 16 days from being married!!!XXYXXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05205278384614133047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6009468722326751050.post-38740086194274058022010-09-14T22:16:29.559+01:002010-09-14T22:16:29.559+01:00You never know what changes may come; this job opp...You never know what changes may come; this job opportunity may open up into something that will work so well for you.

As to the legal side, I'm afraid after my divorce I would not believe one single word a lawyer said and I try never to speak to one now if I can possibly help it! Our divorce laws are a scandal and I'm so sorry the legal aid didn't work out. It sucks.

Solicitors often charge minimum of £200/hour plus barristers and court fees and yet if you earn over the very low threshold of legal aid you can't fight back. It is disgusting and as you know, something I faced too....I have gambled everything on winning but I did have something to gamble with.
