Consent Order - Change of mind !!!

My wife and I had reached an agreement, her side has prepared and signed a Consent Order with the terms we had agreed, I have signed my side and asked for a small amendement to some wording (nothing to do with the finsncial terms).

Based on that I give my wife a sum of money, very close to the half of the value of the matrimonial home, so she can buy a new house.

After that she changes her mind and decides not to go ahead with the agreed consent order, and now we need to go to court, prepare form E, etc, etc.

Does the fact thst she took the money constitutes some kind of agreement? What can be done about it?

Cheers

not totaly sure but i think the consent order only comes into force when it has gone i front of a judge,as the judge can veto it if he thinks it's not fair.
So if she has taken the money you will have to argue that the money is taken into account at FH.

Hello mg64

Have you allready given the money before the order was sighned by your wife?

If you have do you have proof that it was paid (cheque bank draft?)

Dukey,

she signed the order first, I reviewed, signed it and asked for a small amendment. Then I gave her the money.
After that she decided she had changed her mind !!!

I have all the bank records

Cheers

Hi mg64

As i understand it if you have both agread and sighned a consent order its legally binding and a change of heart is not an option.

Yes, we have two copies, the ones that went back and forth signed individually. I believe the problem is that it is never been presented to the judge

Cheers

Hi
Were you advised that payment should be made by your sol? and why was the order not made avalable to a DJ, it still can be and should be.
What has your sol advised i still have concerns
