Petition was sent out by courts on 4th and received few days later by stxh (we're still in the same house while being sold). My solicitor had already told me that he had 14 days to return it so left it and finally asked him yesterday whether he was sending it back. He is now basically trying to blackmail me by saying until something is signed between us regarding finances he will not be sending back petition.
He have already had discussion regarding split of assets etc and provisionally came to an agreement but I'm still not 100% signing an agreement yet as I feel he is not being fair when the children will be with me.
Anyway, as I am paying for the divorce his intention is to try and drag it out and cost me more money if he doesn't get things his way.
My solicitor asked to keep note of any conversations etc that we have as proof that he has received them.
What happens now?? Looking on line it looks like they can be served by a court bailiff and then the courts can just go ahead with assumption if they still don't hear anything. Do they have to be served again? How much do bailiffs etc cost if I did need to use them??
