HELP WITH DECREE ABSOLUTE

My stbxh separated 3 yrs ago quite amicably.

We agreed on how to split our assets and I bought him out of the family home, relinquishing my rights to his pension in the process. The house is now in my sole name and we got a 'heads of agreement' document witnessed by a solicitor to outline the agreements for maintenance, inheritance etc.

He petitioned for divorce early this year and our decree nisi came through on 18 March. It said that application for absolute would be possible after 6 weeks. In information I had to return to the court for the nisi, I enclosed a copy of the heads of agreement and stated that I was happy to go ahead providing the agreements within the head of agreement remained the same.

Once the 6 weeks had passed, I asked if he had send in the application for the absolute and he said that he needed to speak to me as apparently the court was asking for my house to be revalued.

I don't believe him. The court would surely ask that we both disclose our positions separately otherwise he could give them totally fabricated figures.

Can anyone confirm if a court would request this information???

I didn't do it in this way but we both had to fully declare all assets and we had to see what the other had put
