Divorce solicitor useless, how can one change

Toby22

Hi, my brother started divorce proceedings March 2022, fairly amicable, both parties agreed. Some back and forth over the first few months, I posted here. However a total stagnation the past 8 months. Each solicitor seems to take 8 weeks to reply to each other, Terms of Settlement not signed yet. Met two people over Easter who started proceedings same time as my brother, one very acrimonious, both have are fully done and dusted. Can he move to a different solicitor and if so what are his financial obligations. As far as I can see his solicitor has done very little. I contacted the Law Society to see if he had grounds for complaint, a massive ream of paperwork to be done before a complaint is even accepted. Any input appreciated

Yes, he can change solicitors. He'll have to pay his current solicitor for the work he has done to date.
