Do I contact him again?

Good luck this afternoon Julie, I will be thinking about you.

Good to hear you have got the addresses, do you feel its time you got in the driving seat and issue your own petition? that way, you will have control over the timing of events.

Take care,

Thankyou NWTT
Yes I suppose I should get on with things but so scared of losing everything.
Daughter just left for uni and wants to come back to the only home she has known since birth. She will be devastated if she cannot do this and I think she will not see dad again if he forces this. Their relationship is strained as it is. Also he agreed we would not sell until mortgage paid off.

Not a huge mortgage and if I could get a job I would be able to manage, but jobs at the moment are like hens teeth.

Just suspicious of how you cab have a solicitor if they are not acting for you. Can you do this?

Julie he might have been to a solicitor and then realised things would not all go his way so although he has a solicitor, he is now delaying things. Sorry to say this but, this is a well rehearsed tactic of a man who will dissipate/hide assets.

I fully understand your situation, I was there with my daughter, the only way you can protect both yours and your daughters future is to get the ball rolling. Its frightening but not as frightening as doing nothing. Being the applicant will give you more control, gain strength from that Julie. You will get so much support from us.

Let me know how you get on.

Thankyou NWTT

I know you are right. I am not worried about assets as apart from the house there aren''t any as far as I know. I don''t want anything from him except that he keeps to the agreement of keeping my home until daughter is settled and in order to do this I need financial help.

Could you clarify why being the applicant is better?

Your support has been invaluable and I will certainly let you know what happens today.

Julie when you are the applicant you are in control of the time scale set out by the courts, I was very stupid and due to being hospitalised, he sprung the divorce petition on me. This resulted in me being the respondent and having to jump to his tune. It put me on the back foot every step of the way.
I had to provide documentation first then wait, wait and wait for his, important documents came to me at 17.50hrs the night before the final hearing, leaving no time to prepare the case.
Knowing what I know now, I would have been in a better position as the applicant.
I did retain the FMM for me and my daughter though so come on, lets do this xx

Thank you.
Apprehensive though as when I have posted details of financials before the outcome doesn''t look good for me.
Very unhappy about the way someone can walk away, lie about where they live so their ow can claim tax credits and expect to take away their families home.
How it is fair is betond me.

Illegitimi non carborundum!

Chin up Julie
