Cost Order

Hi there wonder if anyone can offer me some advice? My husband is divorcing me on grounds of unreasonable behaviour (all lies) which i have not contested due to the costs involved. We have completed both our from E and have attended our first hearing and are due to attend the FDR on the 29th April, however my lovely husband has made every excuss under the sun to get out of sending us all his closure.My solicitor has given them plenty of oppertunity and impossed quite a few time scales for this informaiton to be sent it however still (even after recieving a call from my husbands sol saying that it would arrive next day, Tuesday) it has not all arrived. My solicitor has now sent an application to the court for a cost order against him, however i have no idea what the hell this is or entails etc. All i do know know is that without the full closure of my sol feels that i am unable to make an informed decision when it comes to offers based on the limited information that i have been supplied with. Please can anyone tell me there experiance if they have been to court for a cost order.

A 'Cost Order' is an application (by one party) to have their legal costs met by the other party.

In Ancillary Relief, this is only usually done when the other party ignores Court timetables, or misses deadlines; thereby making the Case protracted and expensive.

If your solicitors application for costs is successful, then he'll have to pay your legal fees!
I wouldn't panic, his refusal to get the requested paperwork in is working in your favour here. All settlements can only be mediated once there is full disclosure.
