    Ok. So if i send a Form 4 to my lawyer and my ex's lawyer, then i file a form 6B with the court. Do i fill out 2, 6B's and attach a copy of each form 4 and mail it to the court?

    We self repped and did so via email with OC. Documents can be scanned and emailed or typed up in word and converted to .pdf extensions.

    This is great advice... I have done this a few times... even when you think you have it "right" the eyes of others with experience always help tweak your letter to ensure you are leaving the emotions on of it... the few times I have ran the letter by bf write by the forum, his ex and her lawyer never respond... they know they have nothing.

    Without Prejudice only applies if you are negotiating a settlement anyway.

    As a rule of thumb, you should never be writing something you don't want used against you.

    The only exception would a financial offer to settle. Without Prejudice means that you are not admitting that you owe any settlement, but that you are offering settlement to avoid further legal entanglements. The idea is that, otherwise, your offer would be taken as an admission that you actually owe them that amount.

    Write your legal letters as though you are writing to a company to apply for a job. Don't be agressive, it's pointless. Be polite, be professional, keep to the point. Show your best side, not your worst.

    Write the letter, wait 24 hours before sending it, and read it again.

    I posted on another thread that my ex wants to open up our mediated separation agreement. It was very much in her favour but her lawyer is stirring the pot.
    Can I represent myself in communications with her? I have nothing to hide. Also if I write "without prejudice" on emails and letters does that mean anything?

    From context, I assume you mean OC = Other Party?

    What exactly does OC stand for?

    I self-rep, and use old fashioned snail mail.

    My ex's lawyer uses snail mail to respond or instigate communication too.

    Self Rep - How to Communicate to OC

    So, after settling out of court ($40k later...) and getting the EOW and 1 day a week screw job of 2 little boys, I'm going to self rep from now on. I've educated myself, I know where all the resources are found blah blah blah. However, my only concern is communication between myself and OC. I don't own a fax and i can't afford to send $12 expresspost messages everytime there is communication between parties.

    Is e-mail valid? Other methods?
