Hi,could anyone just confirm any of the following for me.
my ex,s solicitor wants to know what purchases i have made from certain shops(£100 and £120 on bank statement) on my debit card.God only knows why. these were basic purchases from a hifi shop and a timber yard.Do i have to/should i have to tell them ?.Surely it is none of anyones business. i have nothing to hide..its just the principal.
2
they want to know how much my mothers estate is worth.none of it is in my name,and she is alive and well. i do not even know myself. surely this is no ones business....not even mine.
many thanks in advance

They''re just being nosey - my ex solicitor used to ask random questions like that! I''m not an expert but I wouldn''t waste time and money replying - although I''m sure that''s not the correct answer!
As for the inheritance they can''t ask those questions none of their business and how do they know your mum might leave the whole lot to the RSPCA or something? She''s alive and well - if you need to reply just say sorry it''s not relevant as your mother is still alive and you have no idea what her estate is worth or who she intends to leave it to.
I would ignore them - I''m sure the wise wikis will inform you how to reply - sorry not much help but it''s ridiculous that your ex like mine would waste money asking a solicitor to write random irrelevant questions? I would be tempted to tell them you paid for an escort or something but best not!! :-)

I agree they are a total waste of time and money and not relevant which the solicitor knows full well. Don''t respond unless to say once that they are irrelevant and not taking the divorce forward . Nothing some solicitors like more than to raise emotions and protracted matters as they get paid that way.

Hi,
This seems to be a fishing trip....the details are none of their business.
In some defence of solicitors, they have in all probability been asked to send this letter by your s2bx.
A simple reply of "Some kick-ass headphones and some 8x4 sheets of ply" and "I''ve no idea, my mother has recently become very passionate about the Cats Protection League and I expect to get nothing" should be suitable reply.
Probably best not to say it was to pay for an escort who offered unique services.
Items less than £500 are not normally worth bothering with.....
