Good solicitor required to fend off Income Diminisher

[Fleetwood]

Will the UK government give legal aid to a non-resident, non-Uk national to pursue a claim against a UK national resident in the UK?? Surely to Christ not.

[BobTheCrate]

careful here. If she gets legal aid, she has bottomless pockets to get lawyers to harass you. You don't

I'd be surprised if she's granted legal aid. She has property equity which under the New Lie, almost certainly excludes her from LA.

Even if she is getting LA or will get LA, this specifically limits the number of hours her solicitor will spend on her case.

As I said before, you don't need a solicitor to respond to her or her solicitor's letters.

No, of course they wouldn't.
No, of course not.
No, of course.
No....

Do not divulge anything about your employment status, without a court request, and don't tell her anything about "how well you are doing" without her...............Boy, I hope she was a good shag

It’s a bit like buying at 0% interest, you think you got a bargain but it costs more in the end. Would you sign a contract with a restaurant to agree that you would have all your meals their for the rest of your life? No, you eat where you like. If you work out the cost per shag in marriage, you could a dozen girls a night and an orgy and still come out with change.

Ah ...Brothels ...music to my ears !

As I noted in a Thai Brothel a sign proclaiming

Why buy when you can rent ?

Why is that people in Brothels never give their real name ?

Residence is a key point. Being resident in France, the legal system there is unlikely to fund a case which was heard and settled in the UK. Equally, UK legal aid won’t fund a UK non-resident’s complaint. This is most definitely the CSA’s position. As an aside, the ex is co-habiting (or about to) with a good income earning chap. So BTC’s comment about asking for her direct and indirect income is not without merit. I feel so sorry for good income earning chap: he’s selling his house in the UK lock stock, to throw his lot in with her over there. I don’t know if I have the heart to warn him…

BTC: one more thing: the ex was partly and indirectly involved in me losing my perm job last year. If this all got to court, I would be asking for employer anonymity, because the ex had a hand in derailing my permie career. Do you think the judge would be sympathetic to this?

Seems totally irrelevant to the main case - your personal stuff and perceptions will most certainly be ignored by the judge.

One for your solicitor I feel...

Yes, but would the judge not consider, “Well Mrs Swampy, your involvement was most unfortunate last year. Let’s allow anonymity to Mr Swampy’s employer, so that we don’t jeopardise the maintenance stream”. Basically to prevent the hand that feeds from getting bitten.

It's doesnt work like that !
