My wife's lawyer refuses to act as independant council for our separation agreement. We basically used two other lawyer written agreements, changed them to suit our needs and brought them in to be looked at. My lawyer mae a few minor corrections but otherwise was happy with it. My wife's said she would not touch it as it was not written up by a lawyer.
I know that when I was looking for a lawyer, all the women lawyers I contacted refused it because it was written by us.
Is this just a ploy to get more money from us? If the numbers are what we agree on and nothing is going to change in that respect, what does it matter who wrote the thing up? Since we used a couple of other people's agreements as a template, it covers all the bases and is essentilly written up by lawyers with our names instead of someone elses.
Should she keep calling around or are there any lawyers out there (other than mine) that will do this sort of work?
