corrupt solictiors

I hope so Arnie, I really do.

Well, they are doing very well out of it.
Each divorce costs thousands and thousands of pounds. Money wasted on arguing the toss when it should be going to the benefit of the children.

Everyone loses, except the solicitors. Where is the motivation for change? They are laughing all the way to the bank, as my grandfather used to say.

Divorce should be removed from the courts' jurisdiction altogether. Matters of the heart are not for law to sort out. They have no idea, except about material things. Ditto child abuse, rape and other human failings.

It is entirely possible for parties to resolve matters between themselves. Lots of people do. Give me a good reason why people resort to solicitors to sort their problems out.

Charles, my friend,

You have never met my ex.

I will give you a million pounds if you could get him to

A) discuss something, anything, sensibly
see someone else's point of view beside his own
C) get him to understand that if someone disagrees with him, they are not 'wrong'
D) make him stick to an agreement
E) do the above without shouting, swearing, name-calling, flouncing out of the room or becoming abusive and/or violent

If you can do all that, you're a better man than I am.

Therein lies the problem. You criticise solicitors for not being able to sort out the mess that you are in whilst recognising that your ex is the problem. The court can deal with the matter and can make a final order - how difficult your ex makes this process is linked to the time and cost of any lawyers involved. Once you have the order, you ex might not comply which involves more lawyers time and more money.

Lawyers do make money out of the legal process as undertakers make money out of death but lawyers have to work within the law. If you want the law changed that is a tall order as it serves most people just fine but fails a small percentage.
