This is a bit like the request for a FAQ, basically, the site already seems to have a wiki but no one uses it, everyone just posts to the forum. The forum would be better for specific Q's and if the wiki was being completed then people could point people on the forums to a relevant answer in the wiki.

all the answers are in here somewhere, you just can't find them. Amanda is right that no two people's circumstances are the same and that's why anyone would be stupid to rely on a FAQ and not to contact a solicitor to discuss specifics.

However, I'd like to be able to ask my solicitor sensible questions when I ring through based on having thought about my question a bit first.

Some of Amanda answers to very good questions are excellent and do contain enough general info to help people like me who only finally agreed to start the divorce process last night with an idea of what's going on / what might happen. Unfortunately, the answers are well and truly burried under a mountain of new posts.

Would it be possible for some of the really good "general priciples" answers to get posted into the wiki - we could search it by subject that way - maybe even more the wiki from the resource menu to the community menu too.

The gen on this site is becoming as lost as that provebal needle in a haystack !

Couldn't agree more. Too much emotion rhetoric when people are looking for straight answers to real questions.

The 'wiki bit' (the library) is relatively new to the site and people are only just starting to use it. Like all wikis it is as good as those who post to it, for us to go through the forum n pick out what should go in the wiki would be a mammoth task. Keep watching and if you have anything useful to add post it in the wiki.
Thanks,
Tetleys
