I have applied for legal aid and been advised that I am on a waiting list (approx 6 months) and have submitted a letter from the Legal Aid Board to the court. In the meantime I have contacted my ex's solicitor to attempt to find out the specifics of the complaint with a view to reaching agreement between us outside of court. The solicitor has ignored my request, replying only that matters would be addressed in court. My question - the court date is next week - will the judge insist that I represent myself? and if so, how do I prepare?
