Re: Final hearing - 5 days ago

Re: Final hearing - 6 days ago
Hi Terry, hope all is well. Price has been reduced twice and still not any closer to selling We’ve recently had some Verbal offers which we both accepted. The buyer then went cold Turkey. The offers were close enough to what i originally offered. ( and rejected) I have gone back in and matched the offer. How long is reasonable to allow them to respond. I have enough evidence its become apby Xh.p - UK Divorce Forum
Re: Final hearing - 6 weeks ago
By cast iron evidence- there is a property on the market in the same borough for the same value i put forward to buy her share. Property sold within last 12 months was sold for less than what i put forward. Do i need more evidence than that ? My fixed rate mortgage ends this month and it’s me that has to pay for it on a variable rate-by Xh.p - UK Divorce Forum

Re: Continue to Save as Normal Prior to Partner Filing? What spending is allowed? - 5 months ago
Might seem doom gloom at this moment of time but as david and others have mentioned, There is life after divorce. Buckle up, accept the fact it’s done and Start the process yourself. Stop saving, or if you insist use that saving to pay off your personal loans, or take out cash. You might be able to ring fence your saving prior to marriage. What you think is fair, the court will usually hby Xh.p - UK Divorce Forum
Re: Final hearing - 5 months ago
Hi Terry, Final order received now. The property has now been on the market for four months, and we’ve only had two viewings and one offer, which was around £25k below the agreed asking price. Asking price is £230k ( she accepted that offer and i did not, and her solicitors accused me off dragging my heels) The court order stated that I propose three agents and valuations, and my ex-wby Xh.p - UK Divorce Forum
Re: Final hearing - 7 months ago
Hey Terry, for the past 6 or so weeks i am trying to find out from The ex wife solicitor whether she plans to apply for a final order- however getting no response. Am i right in thinking if they don’t want to reply with a yes or no answer i might just delay the selling of property and drag my heels… Also, the property is getting very little viewing to begin with, the order stated to be putby Xh.p - UK Divorce Forum
Re: Final hearing - 9 months ago
Good morning terry, How is a final order now obtained ? ( decree absolute )by Xh.p - UK Divorce Forum
Re: Final hearing - 10 months ago
As the home has to be sold- the judge did not really put a timeline on when and value to be sold at? He did say i hope you sell it for as much as you can to help both of you out. Also my barrister did mention that if you suddenly want to buy out her share, you can but just make sure the monies a gift from family. Is this correct ?by Xh.p - UK Divorce Forum
Re: Final hearing - 10 months ago
the journey has come to an end. My final hearing was yesterday. It has been a hard battle as a litigant in person and I sincerely thank david for all his help on this forum. Although my barrister was excellent in pleading my case and cross examination yesterday the judge settled on a 60/40 split in my favour and house to be sold. The wife played the teary victim card and although i was excellby Xh.p - UK Divorce Forum

Re: Final hearing - 1 year ago
Hi Terry, I have found my barrister finally, i have a conference meeting with him in 2 weeks. I can not believe some barristers were quoted £10-12k for a one day hearing.
