"Ayesha Vardag - Britain's top divorce lawyer." ![The Huffington Post](https://vardags.com/images/logo/huffpost.png) "Ayesha Vardag - Woman of the Year"![GG2](https://vardags.com/images/logo/gg2-3.png) "Leading, Magic Circle law firm."Mr Justice Coleridge FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS -------------------------- Your divorce is likely to impact upon your finances for the rest of your life. It is vital that you have a legal team who can trust to deal with your case effectively. If you are unhappy with your legal team, it is very easy to change to new solicitors, only requiring you to lodge a Notice of Change with the court. [FIND OUT MORE](https://vardags.com/faq/divorce/unhappy-with-current-representation "My current solicitor can't cope andor isn't really fighting for me, what can I do?") Divorcing is not easy. It can be even harder if your partner is sharing details with the press. Seeing stories about yourself can be highly upsetting, especially if they are only showing one side of the story - and even worse if that side is not true. Vardags are used to working with clients who are in the public eye and managing the publicity surrounding divorce. [FIND OUT MORE](https://vardags.com/faq/divorce/spouse-sharing-details-to-press "My spouse is sharing private details to the press, what can I do to stop them?") High value divorces can lead to expensive litigation, but you should not be squeezed out of getting your fair share because you do not have the money to pay your fees. Though family lawyers are not allowed to work on a "no win, no fee" basis, we can often find away to keep your case going. [FIND OUT MORE](https://vardags.com/faq/divorce/unable-to-pay-legal-fees "I've run out of money to pay my legal fees, what should I do?") If your spouse has stopped supporting and you are struggling to meet your daily expenses, Vardags can help. It is possible to apply to the court for your spouse to provide you with interim maintenance, also known as maintenance pending suit. Here the court will look at your short term income needs and will order your spouse to make payments to meet them. If such an application is required, your spouse might also be ordered to pay your legal costs relating to it. [FIND OUT MORE](https://vardags.com/faq/divorce/run-out-of-money-for-living-expenses "I've run out of money to meet my living expenses, what can I do?") Sometimes litigation can get bogged down in a costly mire. The case can drag, whilst endless correspondence pushes up solicitors' costs. If you feel like your divorce has been plagued by unnecessary delays or that your current solicitors are ineffective in speeding up the process, you may be able to escape this situation by changing solicitors.
