Hi mate, you don't really get shafted in family Law ( though it does seem that way) its a case of the Judge decideing what is right and proper, concidering your income in relation to your ex partner etc.
You can get a list from the Law society, then ask around for recomendations,( call criminal firms and ask who they would use etc) or you could contact a Farthers group to see who's considered the best in your area.

Having someone shit hot prob won't help alot with maintainance, but could help if contact issues become a prob.

I stoped working in law a long time, but we had the best family lawyer in the area, and people were being recomended to use by other firms all the time, so asking around does work.

if you have not organised and agreed to a maintenance payment scheme, then the good ole CSA will do it on means testing, so the more disposable income you have, the more you pay.

As for CSA, my ex pays me nothing a week for 5 kids.

Cheers chaps,

Well i was told by her that she will be after £600 a week as that is what she is entitled too. Like i said before its just nuts for a 3 year old, and at the end of the day she will have more from me in 2 weeks tax free than the average person in the uk gets a month :o

If an adult is on the dole they get approx £50 a week, i just dont see how they can justify it.

The isle of man is looking very tempting :woot:

DCM 02-09-2008 12:12 PM

sounds like you definatley need a good solicitor, don't expect to be paying little if you are earning good money though, but she would have to justify also, that she NEEDS £600 a week, I would guess she would be hard pushed to make it feasable for £600 a month....

I run a home, a car and 5 kids on less than £600 a child a month, if I got that, I would be sorted BIG TIME

£600 a week, ask for the receipts that she's spent on the kid. Failing that i've got a spiderman outfit in the loft:thumbsup:

knowing that Lee recently got a £20 per hour raise (£160 per day raise!) then i suspect he earns more than £600 per day, which means he's giving up less than 20%of his income.
I must admit i'm finding it hard to be sympathetic like Ash.

What has what you earn in a week or month got to do with it:confused: £600 a week for a kid is out of order. I think it's a bit of jealously coming out there;)
