Try to avoid lawyers and talk to your ex and solve the issues between two of you. The lawyers will undress you and will undress her. They are the ones who will end up with all your money…..

This is the best advice you will get here.

Been there too many times. Work it out between you get it drawn up. Everyone's ok then. If there are kids, then you will do this again as the kids grow and their needs change.

Be careful with LAYWERS

My brother who had a few dollars went to a divorcee lawyer for advice and was told we would love to have you as a client but if not , we would love to have your wife as a client

Shook him up

Well this should be a short and not so sweet visit here....

How many times should you be allowed to ask for divorce lawyer suggestions on the outdoorsmen's forum before you start getting a little flak?

[Drewski Canuck]

I practiced Family law for 27 years. Quit three times and this time I will not take another Family file.

7 times in my Practice after I ceased to act for a Client on a Divorce file I was contacted by the opposite Spouse asking if I would now act for them because I was tougher than their Lawyer!

The OP may have a real issue that needs to be addressed. The OP may simply be looking for revenge. Without knowing more facts its hard to know the motivation.

Tammy Cameron is a friend of mine. Her Husband Iain is not. Both were Classmates at the U of A. Tammy is competent.

However, if it is revenge back and forth between the OP and his Ex, this is a sad situation which the Justices will see through very fast.

But looking for the meanest, nastiest, toughest Divorce Lawyer from other people who have experience with Divorce is not an objective assessment. From the Client's point of view their lawyer was or was not tough enough, and the law was irrelevant.

For the Family law Bench, the law is all that is relevant, and they are not impressed with what the Client perceives as toughness.

It is clear from the number of posts looking for help finding a Divorce Lawyer that the OP has been through a number of Lawyers, and is now looking again.

Perhaps what is needed is an objective assessment of what can be achieved and what it will cost emotionally and financially to achieve it, if it can ever be achieved at all.

drewski and I and all others don’t have enough info to make well informed and reasonable comments BUT

the OP may need a lawyer who DOES NOT CONTINUE TO WRITE NASTY LETTERS AT 500 BUCKS A POP

get a lawyer who concentrates on


——- make the client write the story out as to facts on the issues before the court. costs the client less for the lawyer to read and ask further questions than do a 1 hour interview back and forth with the client to obtain 6 facts

——- cut the bs and draft. file. and serve the documents for court applications as a letter writing campaign just wastes money something akin to petitions to the federal politicians

also a great lawyer holds back filing and serving or at least serving a second affidavit until the other side has filed their response affidavit
that is being skillful and not tricky, don’t give the other side all your facts until needed

why you ask

the easy button is for the wife’s lawyer and the wife to make up facts or muddy the waters when filing the affidavit in response to the original allegations

it can be and is easy money and fun for the divorce lawyer
and your life is only threatened about once a month but the opposing client or his or her friends


I love court because right or wrong you get an answer

also the wife in this case may say. my lawyer says to give credence to her fake position

we need court time where a judge sits for the whole day listening to both spouses and makes a decision

it is way to COSTLY and lots of DELAYS under the current system which has been broken for decades


my suggestion is pay to get to court not to be a passenger in the taxi cab looking for the address to the court house

Divorce lawyer told me many years ago “ if you want to pay me $350/hour to argue about Tupperware, I will take your money”.

Best advice I got.

Dragging things out to “be right” is expensive. Being difficult is prolonging everyone’s agony. Mostly your own.

Get it over with. Set your ego aside.

Make sure the kids are not victimized any more then they already have been.

Get on with your life, be happy, and take care of your obligations.
