I got divorced a year ago and had a profound nervous breakdown which explains why I'm confused now.
Firstly, Is the bit of paper that says 'Financial Remedy' 'Central Family Court' the actual finance agreement? I'm pretty sure it is but I'm stuck on one pretty serious point. There's loads of stuff about Mr X keeps this house, Mrs X keeps that house etc, he gives up this, she gives up that etc. UNTIL the bit that says 'Child Periodical Payments'. I'll now quote what it says:
'From (date) and monthly thereafter, the respondent shall pay or cause to be paid to the applicant periodical payments for the benefit of the children at the rate of £x per child per calendar month until each child shall respectively attain the age of 18 years or cease full-time secondary education whichever is the later or further order.'
What I want to know is, are these 'Financial Remedy' papers generic and the barristers just fill in the boxes or are they properly bespoke? Because I think there's been a mistake. In court, my dh only agreed to make payments to me for the dc for a period of one year and I distinctly remember being told I'd have to go to the CSA thereafter. I am now almost at that year point. But this quote I've just given you above states 'until the dc are 18 or whilst they're still in secondary education' which means I'll get the maintenance for the dc for longer. Is it possible the form was written up wrong? Do you think my exdh and I would have different copies & his would have the real facts & mine have a mistake? I am absolutely sure he only agreed to one years money.
