After more than 2 years since separating, a year of mediation, we finally agreed our financial settlement in August last year, we then had to wait for pension valuations and solicitor was a bit useless in getting drafted consent order out to us both, but it was finally done in February and sent to court, has anyone recently sent their consent order to the courts and can give advice on roughly how long it took to come back sealed ? Ex is now saying there is a Covid 19 order that we can apply for as most of his settlement is in stocks/shares (which have obviously decreased in value) and I am getting the equity in our house (which was on the market and I had an offer which I accepted in February, but he refused to sign the paperwork unless I gave him an additional £20k, on top of our agreement, so i decided to wait until I get decree absolute to remarket property, and obviously will now take significantly longer to sell due to current situation). Has anyone ever heard of a Covid 19 order ? I appreciate his stocks/shares will have reduced, as will our pensions, and no doubt the house valuation will drop, but I have had enough and don't know how much longer I can go on, both financial and emotionally. He has lied so much already about his assets, but I have spent a fortune already on solicitors, so I just want this all to be over with. He hasn't paid the sum to me agreed to pay on the signing of the consent order, and is now reducing his maintenance payments, nothing I can do about that as he lives abroad in a country where the Uk CMS has no jurisdiction, so I just want things to be finalised between us and I can move on, but I am worried that if he does apply for this Covid 19 order (which I can find nothing about online) that things are going to drag on more and more....
