Try to do without a lawyer for as long as you possibly can....only deal with his lawyer personally and send a different letter to them every day asking a different question, (discovery of earnings etc) you'd be amazed at how quickly he'll get pissed off at paying some greedy cock $350 every day to answer your inane questions, it helped a mate of mine to settle in a reasonable way after her bill started to mount up and he was just out a little personal time.

Last shark I used sent me a bill for over 100k, I had to get another lawyer to reduce the bill massively............bunch of cunts!!!!
