My partner has a 4-year-old daughter who has now been unable to see for 6 months due to the child's mother refusing to let him visit. He has tried mediation with no success as she is not willing to negotiate at all.
Our next step is to get lawyers involved as we see no other option. We know that his ex will do anything possible to drag out this process for us as much as she can so it's likely to be very expensive for us (she is unemployed so will be able to access legal aid and we will not).
We have been given an estimated figure from a lawyer who said this could blow out to $50,000. This figure seems so high to me and I have no idea how average people could afford to pay that.
Just wondering how much others in similar situations have ended up paying? Any help is appreciated.
Thank you!
