The rules are complex take advice on it but do not expect to come out smelling of roses. What you put into it you should take out, what was a gift could be yours.
Depends on length of time together and if any off spring involved..good luck mate not many winners. |

You will end up paying even if on legal aid if you stand to make any financial gain from the divorce, you have to sign to Legal Commissions forms first which basically means before any monies of the sale of a shared property of other assets are paid over to you, you will pay back all your legal costs. |

Also if you have entitled to legal aid, if your circumstances change or if you are now living with a new partner, their income and/or assets are taken into consideration.
Initially though you will have no costs to pay out, if a/on own b/ can show proof of benefits within the past month and on a regular basis c/ as per my prior post bear in mind you are liable to pay these costs back if you are receive any kind of financial settlement.
When phoning a solicitors firm, look under the Family Law section and ask to see the person who deals with legal aid cases.
Also always try to go for the less qualified or newly qualified if you stand to repay your costs. |
