Divorce lawyer?
Discussion
The judge in my case was very helpful.
At the end of financial hearing (quite quick as we reached a consent order before hearing that court was willing to rubber stamp) he asked if there was anything else he could deal with that day as he had 10 minutes to spare.
I advised him I would be immediately sending in a request for decree absolute. He said he could deal with it there and then, asked me 4 or 5 questions then said done, decree absolute granted and stamped something.
Exit courts straight to pub for celebratory drinks :-)
IANAL, but I represented myself through the whole divorce. It's fairly easy if you are reasonably bright and are willing to read up on the process.
The ex has burnt through £18k ish of solicitors and barristers fees, I spent £150 on one session with a solicitor just to ask some questions and get assistance with initial divorce papers.
