Divorce lawyer who understands contractors

[d000hg]

I imagine that it's far more common that a mum with, say, a part time job is absolutely panicked at the idea of bringing up her kids on her own on little or no income when things go wrong.

Maybe the woman shouldn't insist on 'winning' the kids in the divorce then.

Or not insisting on divorce? If the man or woman is the bread winner than it should be appreciated in more than one way

Ouch! please don''t think that all women are like that!

There used to be “promise to love honour and obey”.

Not only obey went out the window but also honour.


The Law in the UK is out of date and favours women.

Eg. In a marriage, regardless of children a wife has a choice of not working and staying at home, having a career or even a hobby job or hobby loss making business. The man is expected to work. If he does not work; the wife can divorce him for neglect.

In divorce, the wife is advised not to work and to claim from her husband for the rest of her life even if there has been a 50/50 split.

One of my sisters has never done a day’s work in her life but after going through two husbands; she has a very nice house and income for the rest of her life. Her ex-husband has nothing.

Not all wives are out to take their husbands to the cleaners and I think it a little unfair to tar all women with the same brush!

In a split it is almost impossible to deliver equality i.e. a solution where all parties are equally satisfied with the solution. There will be winners and there will be losers.

Does anyone know of more than one example of a man getting a better deal than a woman? I don't know of any personally.

But the system is biased in a woman's favour - which is why 70% of divorces are initiated by women.

Its very sexist really - it assumes that men work and women look after kids. I think alot of judges would like to chain women to the kitchen sink. The younger female judges are alot less sexist of course.

Of course you are not yet divorced - why not ask your husband to post here once the divorce is done? Or maybe you could try to talk to him and try to save your relationship - at least for your kids. You have an autistic child to consider!

I gave him/her the benefit of the doubt for the 1st post, by the 4th one I knew.

Yes. I got the kids - my ex got the money. I got by far the best deal. I know of a few men in my shoes.

So she got your money and your shoes.

Guys

I would appreciate some advice. I've been freelance 17 years, just left my wife, got a new flat and started discussions on divorce. I've been married only 6 years. My wife expects me to hand over 275,000 plus maintenance of >1,000 per month for the next 14 years. Currently I am paying my wife 3,000 per month whilst i live away from home.

I need a solicitor that understands freelancing. I don't think my current one does, so am uncomfortable with them representing me.

Can anybody recommend a good lawyer please? I need one fast.

I would really appreciate the advice.

Thanks
