representation.?

Cheers , yes Ive completed all the forms and have a court date , but the Ex is slippery when dry
(prob why I had so much fun with her lol!)
Just wanted to get some prof advise to help push it along.
dont really feel like doning a super hero outfit !
On a serious note apprec. that legal aid neded curbing in some cases, but this seems
harsh.

You may get a free consultation with a lawyer off the legal aid website, simply select one near you that does family cases.
Worst case to discuss the facts and strategy is £50 or so.
Whilst laywers know the law, the case for representing yourself, when it comes to family matters is pretty good as it shows a personal attachment and definite need (if framed correctly) rather than taking a polar position through the mouthpiece of a crafty lawyer.
If you represent yourself you'll also be given certain leniencies that a lawyer won't have the luxury of as you won't be expected to know courtroom tactics etc.
Best of luck with it, however you proceed.
PS It's those men in Batman outfits that have allowed the family court to be as equal as it is, it still has a LONG way to go but whilst they may be annoying at times, when you read the stories of some of them, it's a wonder their actions aren't more permanent.
