There is no limit or incorrect way to provide your notes. We prefer more information than none. Equally, it is also okay for you to simply note ‘We’ve separated and I don’t know the process. I just need a general overview of what to do and what my rights are’. Here are guide questions to help: What caused the breakdown of the relationship? What are the main points of concern you’d like the Solicitor to focus on? What are some specific questions you need answered? Is there anything concerning about your ex-partner that we should be aware of? This could be narcissistic, controlling or threatening behaviour for example.
