We are at
mediation stage and have agreed that for the sake of our sanity I will move out until house is sold etc etc
We have agreed the basis of the financial split at
mediation but if we agree any further financial things before the
Consent Order is signed should we agree these in writing between ourselves
For example I have agreed that my wife can keep the car (and my share of it) which she has since part exd and taken on some finance . I dont want this finance to be part of the
Consent Order and she has agreed that she is happy for this
Also I receive an annual bonus to which my wife believes she is entitled to half as we are still married. Is this the case, whether it is still there or not
On this subject when calclating CM do the courts look at the P60 as this bonus is dicretionary and not guaranteed every year
I have offered to pay CM of 10 pct gross monthly pay and then annully I will pay 10 pct gross of the bonus month (I.E when I get it then I will pay the corresponding amount for Cm) or will it be set based on previous tyears P60
Also I am continuing to pay the mortgage and bills on the
marital home even though I am not living there. This is more a moral obligation rather than anything. Am I legally obliged to do this and is expense I am incurring taken into account
Is that the case and i guess that if this was declared as an asset then it would be chucked in the pot with everything else and split accordingly . What if it was spent as I am paying my mate rent to stay in his spare room which is an additional expense plus i have paid some bills that were jointly due .
IS the expense of this considered when ancillary releif is calculated
ALso her accounts earnings as self employed and she is intending to work more once we separate and the little fells starts school in Septamebr and her earning potential will increase .
She does not want to pursue SM as is very independent
How will the courts look at this or will they judge on the past and if we agree between ourselves can we disagree with the courts ourselves
