What does this have to do with UK immigration?

Mine cost over 2k and in the end I gave up and did it myself.

When u enter marriage mate it's share and share alike more often than not so I'd forget trying to hang onto what you think is rightfully yours. She could argue she saved you that amount of money and on and on the song rolls on and you are caught up.

Meanwhile the Solicitors on both sides are rubbing their collective hands at 175 quid an hour sending pointless letters to each other 'on your behalf' questioning points of law on your dollar.

I never saw a poor Solicitor, only a poor Solicitor's client.....

If it is a simple matter which you can resolve amicably then you may not need a solicitor, or you could do for about Â£100 with a solicitor filing papers for you. But this depends on the amount of your savings. Many solicitors will give free consultations initially, it is worth having one.

You've not looked hard, then - some areas of law are pretty poorly paid, such as family, crime, immigration, etc.

Does that mean professionals practicing in those 'poorly' paid areas really got to try hard to get some wealthy clients to increase their margins ?

No - most solicitors are salaried, not partners, AIUI.
