What has a forensic accountant got to do with divorce?

Anyone able to explain this to me? DD3 is trying to conduct a civilised divorce with ex H. He wants anything but.

His latest is that he is going to send in a forensic accountant to her fledgling business which she has worked very hard to get started and is beginning to take off. He has already stated he wants half the VALUE of the house which is in DD's name and to which he has never contributed a penny. He hasn't quite twigged that it is the equity he may get half of, which is almost zero.

He contributes nothing financially to the upbringing of his son.

If anyone is, has been or knows about this topic, I'd be grateful to hear from them.

And now, can anyone help with this one? Who pays solicitor costs in a divorce? I thought each party paid for their own. Ex SIL is expecting DD to pay for his. She is the petitioner.

Why doesn't she ask her solicitor or at a CAB office?
