Am Divorcing. In Scotland so different legal system. Here you form a Separation Agreement in which all finances are sorted out. Once signed, it's legally binding. Then you Divorce & only then do pension & assets move across.
My Lawyers have been crap. I'm on Legal Aid so I was putting up with it.
(except it turns out I'm not, but that's another story)
So, after dragging on since Nov 2021, we finally signed the Sep Ag in Dec.
Pension & house transfer all agreed but nothing happens until actual Divorce.
ExH has just contaced me to say that he's had a letter from my lawyers asking him to do final Signature for Conveyancing of house - into HIS sole name!
also a letter re LA for Divorce which says it will have to go through Court as
'not a simple divorce as both children are under 16'. Neither child is under 16 - laywers know this & have both original birth certs.
Now I'm panicking as clearly these people are totally incompetant so I'm worried that the pension figure (worked out between his employers & my lawyers) might be wrong too. Is there a pension section on here please as I can't get through to anyone until tomorrow. His total transfer value ws £233K & I've been awarded 50% of that but it's only £86K in the Sep Ag document (just double checked)
I trusted my Lawyer but clearly they are completely incompetant so now I'm worried I've signed to agree to the wrong figure? And what the heck about being already awarded LA for wrong kind of Divorce & also what if ExH signs the form for the house to go to him? I'm trying not to panic but I've seen the letters.
