myself and my wife are getting divorced, she is intent on putting all the corrispondance through the solicitor, can i insist any offers for the equity be put directly to me rather than solicitors sending letters to each other. my solicitor has been poor to be honest and gave me the impression divorce costs would be shared which wasnt the case.

Yes you can request that all letters and other communication is sent direct to you. You can also respond to these yourself, and retain your current sols for advice and for as & when you need him.

Just send the other side a letter (keep it business-like).

How is she paying for the solicitor? Is it from her personal savings or a joint account?

She is responsible for funding her own legal costs.
