Firstly IANAL. That said, I didn't hire a solicitor during my divorce, I fought my own case against my ex's solicitor.
Fortunately the Judge was a reasonable bloke and my ex-wife's solicitor was a man-hating bearded lesbian.
The other fortunate aspect was that we didn't have kids to fight over.
So, if you're reasonably intelligent, can argue your case dispassionately and reasonably then don't bother with a solicitor.

My only advice.
You're screwed. Give up everything now and start to live the life of a hermit. By the time the lawyers and your ex have finished with you that hermit will be better off.
