It isn't easy self representing...been there and in the end my plate was full with my ex and assessing two lawyers.
I was married to a narcissistic blah blah blah, and it is not easy divorcing one of those, but you can and will.
I am finally at the end of my divorce 5 years of no support payments and no finality not even agreement in an NFP, it was hell!!
I was fortunate, I made an email, sent it out to several lawyers, after researching their years of service as lawyers, and also checked out their community involvement, interests, case law and their replies did I chose a lawyer.
This ongoing crap for four years was over in two weeks and one court visit. Only one item is left and should be resolved in the next 6 months.
I assessed my previous lawyers and won, I knew my case better than they did, and did not allow their games or invoiced fees for services which were not rendered to be allowed. I mean, we go to a mechanic and ask for an oil change - and they only change the air filter, most of us would demand our money back or for them to perform a proper oil change.
We are all human on this earth, we all make mistakes however, after years of getting no where and lawyer fees which did not make results, this does not constitute fees for them. They have the LLB and know how to make this system work but some of them choose to prolong the process for financial gain and added stress on their clients. Its just WRONG.
Good luck to those who are trying to battle this self representation but it takes years to gain the respect in the courts and may your health be able to sustain the stress.
Divorce sucks, and if if knew then what I know now, marriage would of never been considered!!! The next time I require a lawyer for legal services I will be 48 hours dead, and I wont be paying the fees!!!
