This may be one for Legal Matters, but I'll try here first.
My DP has tried numerous times to get his ex to negotiate on finances- directly and then through solicitors across the 2 years they have been split. She has given various excuses why she won't engage with the process. She gives him hope that she will (eg voluntary form Es were exchanged via their solicitor) and then dashes it (eg saying that obviously he lied on said form).
So my question is- can she do this forever? What's the backstop? Does he have to take her to court? He is the main earner, so it seems perverse that should have to. I understand that she will forever have a potential claim against him if she does nothing, though her claim I guess will get weaker as time goes on.
He's investigating what would happen if he just gave her all equity and took on all their debt, and upped his monthly payments to somewhere around what his solicitor said she might get if it did get to court, the thinking being she is less likely to succeed in a claim for much more- is that a crazy idea?
It's so frustrating! Please help.
