Hi is there anyone out there who knows if you can get a court order without using a solicitor. My daughter was divorced some time ago and her "prayers" in the divorce papers said she should have maintenance for a) herself b) her 3 children. She never attempted to claim for herself but tried to get maintenance for her children. Her ex has paid absolutely nothing for years and although living a very lavish lifestyle keeps his money hidden from the csa. She keeps being asked if she has a court order as this may help get some money for the children. She has in the past spent a fair bit of money on solicitors (not easy when you've got 3 mouths to feed and clothe) She would now like to apply for a court order herself without using a solicitor. Has anyone out there done this? Sorry if all this is a bit heavy but I'm trying to help her any way I can. I have googled "how to get a court order" but couldn't find what I wanted.Thanks |

Can your daughter not take advantage of the free half hour service offered by many solicitors? She was foolish really not to push for the maintenance for herself as well as the children, when it was first mentioned in the divorce papers. It makes it look as tho she can manage. If she is on benefits, surely DSS will be pushing her to get the maintenance? |

If she has a court order granting her maintenance for the children, she should return to the Court office and report the non-payment to them. |

Even if she could manage this man should be forced to pay his dues, How dare he father children and not support them, It's the one thing i always told my son I would never forgive him if he did. |
