Thanks everyone for the replies. I sort of knew that but I think I just needed it to be verified.
We got onto this solicitor because Alex's Nan was claiming war widow benefits after Pop died and she had to get a solicitor. While she was talking to im one day she told him about Alex's accident and how he is waiting for a payout, and he told Nan to pass on his number as he believed 'this case will make his career'. He is qualified military law solicitor though so I do feel some level of comfort in that!
At the moment we are trying to find a house, and because neither of us are working it doesn't look good, but Alex can't work and because of my parenting plan with Jackson's Dad I have to work around his times. I would love to find a job but until we move I won't even be able to start!
I think everything is just geting to me lately and Alex is trying to make things easier for now, but that wont really benefit us in the future! We are basically stuck at the moment and we both hate that feeling.
We are trying to be positive though; and I do tell Alex to ring hs solicitor when he doesn't return our calls, but Alex usually forgets! It is just so frustrating at the moment with evrything else going on.
Thanks again for the support though, I really do appreciate it!
