I am divorcing on grounds of adultery. I'm seeking a consent order for the finances and advised mediation for a settlement.
After attending the first mediation session we were both given form to compete to show financial disclosure.
My problem is the following. He is self employed. He deals with cash and only out some jobs through official channels. This has always been the case. He declared a mere £13.5k income last year.. Laughingly this means he gets legal aid for his mediation... Whilst I pay for mine.
The child support I have insisted comes from a standing order - this he pays from his business account. Can he pay that from the business?
He's claiming he NEVER does things for cash (I've watched hi do it for 20 years). I'm seeking a financial settlement but am unsure how this can be achieve if his finances are completely fictious. His company books will show very little turn over as they will only show what's he's chosen to declare. He's obviously very scared about HMRC getting involved. But what can I do to make sure he's not got lots of cash stashed...
At the moment he's laughing at me about all this. But I need to get the consent order in place and the finances sorted so I can move in and get another home for me and the two boys. Any advice?
