So a few weeks ago, I received a letter from a lawyer stating that my wife had hired them to assist her with a property settlement.
Up until this point, I assumed that the wife and I could amicably sort out our affairs without involving lawyers and the courts but I guess I was wrong. They have sent me an initiating application and a financial statement and I'm guessing that I will need to do the same.
The lawyers are asking me to provide them with a bunch of documents including my tax returns and bank balances. Is this legal?
I'm not really interested in hiring a full-time lawyer, but I would like to pay someone to write my documents. I can show up at court if required and do not need someone for this process.
Does anyone know of a law office that can assist me here? I'm located in Melbourne if it makes any difference.
Thank you
