financial settlement

[rosietea]

Ok I could do with a fresh / second opinion. 2 kids 16 and 17. Divorced. Living in marital home paying all repairs mortgage and everything for children in my own. Ex won't agree on settlement refusing to pay the court costs which a judge has already said he should when we divorced. I need 60% to buy again and provide a three bed house for our son and daughter.
He refuses constantly says I can only have 50% but keeps putting in his offers that the children have a percentage ? I said I'd waive the court costs and repairs for 60% which he can't pay anyway as gone on dole.
My solicitor is already paid upfront. We are already divorced went through on November .
All my solicitor says is I need to sort out an agreement and my only option is to take it to court I absolutely have not got those fees so cannot.
Where does this leave me, how long can it carry on what if its never resolved ? Is there more my solicitor can do?

Thanks for the reply , I would if I could afford it. My hands are tied unfortunately. I'm in a position where a every penny is counted for .

Ultimately if mediation doesn't work your next step is court.

You'll have to self-represent if you can't afford a solicitor. There's no way around taking it to court I'm afraid.

How much is 10% of the equity worth? That's what you'd be fighting over.

Depending on how much the house sells for I would say about 7 to 10 thousand pounds ...

What happens when a case is took to court? Do I have to provide wage slips? Bank statements ?

If you're arguing over such a relatively small sum then it's definitely not worth getting a solicitor in. Just self-represent and see what the judge gives you. I appreciate it might make a huge difference to you though.
