How quick should a solicitor reply to my letters?
following recent separation (6 months) the divorce goes to court on wednesday, but im getting very slow 2 months+ to my requests for access and my concerns over my children’s safety and well being .
my wifes new partner has no access to his own 4 children not even supervised, yet he has unlimited access to mine , even unsupervised child minding and alike . i keep writing letters to her solicitor who either ignores my letters until after court dates . or is taking at least 2 months to reply.
my 2 girls aged 6 and 8 are both actively encouraged to not visit me on my agreed weekends with offers of weekends away to theme parks and alike.
they are instructed not to tell me anything , to the point they appear very distressed.

on the occasions i do get staying contact, they are very upset about returning home to mummy and her new boyfriend. the last occasion my 8 year old had terrible headache an hour before home time . had to lay on the bed … until she was physically. sick with worry

i have expressed my concerns to both her solicitor and my wife but again my letter fall on deaf ears. i feel the solicitor is acting inappropriately considering the children could be at risk

Additional Details
i cant afford a solicitor, i dont feel a solicitor will act as quickly as i will. i dont qualify for legal aid.

i have a mortgage that my wife has left me with when she went bankrupt, i have all her half of joint debts to pay. .so a solicitor is out of the question .
i have sucsesfully obtained a prohibited steps order to prevent then removing the children from the u.k . access is in the hands of caf cass now . but slow response is really putting my children at risk. there must be a legal requirement, to reply within a set time
