What is the procedure to go to court?

STBX hasn''t provided a complete financial disclosure, and my solicitor says there''s nothing we can do. Is this true, or is it just a way of stringing it out for more money? What can I do to further things along? Nisi has been granted a year ago, been going on for nearly 3 years and I don''t seem to be getting anywhere. Sol just says, well we can put it into court but that will cost you thousands. But doesn''t elaborate on specifically what can be done, and how much it is likely to cost me, and if it is worth it in the end. How long can I be strung along buy STBX? 4 years until youngest child leaves school.
Can anybody advise me please?

At the moment financial disclosure is purely voluntary. If court proceedings commence the court will require disclosure so it is no longer voluntary. Most spouses settle during court proceedings but if the case goes to a final hearing a case can take 9+ months from the first hearing. Sometimes though a judgement has to be made as to what more information can be acquired, at what cost and the probability of an improved settlement. No point spending £12k on legal fees if there are assets only worth £10k.

Hi my ex never did financial disclosure and the judge awarded me what I asked for in the end. He was ordered to pay all costs as failure to turn up and disclose went on for three years. My barrister asked the judge for final hearing and it was granted very long and drawn out totally unacceptable. Guess some people want to twist the knife.

Well there are things involved like shares/savings, the equity in the FMH (about £150K), we have already split the endowment payout 50/50. Also, there is £10K added onto the mortgage lent to motherinlaw to buy a house, which she rents out, and has paid nothing towards paying us back in the last 5 years. I also have £10K on credit cards in my name that STBX ran up prior to split.

I''d like to get it all sorted out, so I can move on, so I know how much money i''ve got to buy a new property for myself to live in, stop wasting money on rental property, and know that STBX cannot come after half of it!
