Hi,
Me (respondent) and my STBX Wife (applicant) have now agreed a financial settlement and her solicitor will shortly be drafting a Consent Order.
I recognise that wife's solicitor is still acting in her interests and that I should get independent legal advice on the content of the consent order. I am LiP.
However, I'm slightly confused about who should pay for the costs of drawing up the Consent Order. Would this normally be expected to be equally split between us?
I agreed to equally share the divorce costs, but I believe that strictly speaking this means costs associated with - divorce application, decree nisi, decree absolute.
many thanks
