When I divorced XH he initiated the consent order. It was straightforward and he bought me out of the house.
So he had to pay me £x in 28 days, and take me off the mortgage and I would sign the house over to him.
At 25 days from the date I called to ask about the money and he said it had all been delayed and he'd pay me when the deeds transferred.
I said no, and insisted he got me the money by the 28th day. He did, but less the cost of half the following month's mortgage payment (since I am still on the mortgage).
I have found a house and put an offer in on it, but I can't proceed until I'm off the mortgage for the other house.
Mortgage company say he has to initiate and they can't even tell me if he has started the process. I can't sign over the deeds until the mortgage is done.
He seems to think I should keep paying half the mortgage until it's transferred and won't return the money he's deducted.
What can I do? Money is tight as I need it to buy a new house for me and the dcs!
