I was wondering if someone could help me.
To make a long story short;
Stbxh and I separated in 2015 after 2.5 years married. We have one child together. We lived in rented accommodation when we separated and I was in debt.
I have since got out of debt, met a new partner, bought a house and had another baby. My parents are relatively wealthy, my father died last year and my inheritance went into trust.
We are finally getting around to sorting our divorce. I am respondent and the nisi was pronounced 4.5 months ago so I can now apply for absolute. Things are acrimonious due to a child custody battle which concluded in my favour.
I am desperate for a clean break order due to my future inheritance and earning potential, he does not work and relies on benefits due to poor mental health. He is refusing to sign a clean break order and wants me to 'make him an offer' to sign it. I offered through my solicitor that I would not pursue him through cms. He is now ignoring my solicitor.
I am considering claiming cms and taking him to court as litigant in person (cannot afford solicitor fees) to get financial matters sorted. What are the chances of him being awarded anything I have gained since our separation?
I am resident parent.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
