Decree absolute is now through, but we still haven't resolved finances. I'm likely to have to start the court process soon.
I have been living in the house throughout, and have continued paying the mortgage in full, he lives elsewhere. However - it strikes me that I'm effectively paying off a joint debt when we haven't yet sorted out how we're doing to split things.
I'm considering paying interest only until resolved, although I think I would need his agreement?
...but I read somewhere that the 'effective date' on which you sort your finances is the earlier of the date you're sorting it out, or the date of decree nisi. Therefore whatever the mortgage balance was in September will be the balance on which we settle.
Is this correct? Can't find where I've seen this!
Thanks
