We have been separated for 3 years and we got the Decree Nisi in 2021, the final court order has been received, the house is to be sold and each of us will share half but I am applying for an appeal.
Because he is the applicant, I asked him to apply for a Decree Absolute, he did not agree, he said that when I want　to take the property from him (maybe my appeal will be successful, maybe if the house will not be sold), it will involve the payment of taxes, if there is no decree absolute there is no need to pay taxes. Is there such a thing as a decree aboslute that would involve paying a lot of tax? Is this a valid argument? Because he has been domestically abusive to me for a long time, he would want to control my mind and my thinking

For a definitive response you would need tax advice from an accountant or at the very least guidance from a lawyer who is used to dealing with financial remedy applications.

The law changed recently and here is a link to the government website for a brief summary www.gov.uk/government/publications/capit...paration-and-divorce
