You mean there's more? One wasn't enough?
Thanks for the education. I can now see what Mike's on about.

OK, so I'm left wondering why?

Because what is just and what is legal are very different things?

Right, but who said you had to give the 20%, your lawyer or hers? Reason I ask is because I was told something in a case I was involved in but the truth was on the other side, much more to my benefit. I pushed for answers, researched more and found that while I could have agreed in the issue, I also could negotiate for something better.
I am guessing you have that ability is well. Perhaps the reason for the 20% has something to do with what happened prior to the negative equity situation that remains applicable after, such as your ex put money toward the purchase of the house? What ever happened to the aces? I suppose you didn't want to have to use them.
For me, that would be a sticky situation were I to get divorced; we don't have "his money and her money", we have our money. I know some other couples who have totally separate finances, one pays utilities and one pays the mortgage, one pays the car loan the other pays the mobile bill. Too confusing to my way of thinking. Not saying this is your situation.
Maybe I am just old fashioned.

I believe that lady is also doing a turn in Casualty. The tv show, that is.
Could be Holby City. I wasn't really paying attention.
:C

The difference being that your lawyers are all just a bunch of money-grabbing crooks, while Sottish lawyers are fine, upstanding members of honest society.
Oh yes.

20% equates to around 5 grand, that's the minimum it would cost in legal fees to pursue it through the courts. It'd probably cost me more because Scottish lawyers are just the same as every other lawyer, despite what truffle says.
Also going legal would delay me getting my dirty mitts on my share of the cash. As I haven't worked since the start of July and am still owed money from my previous employer I really can't afford to wait for court dates and shit.

Wouldn't have mattered, that last bit was offscreen. Only saw it after I posted to fixr!

Damn, wish I'd known that. I could've hired a Scottish lawyer, he'd probably have represented for free.
