My ex just will not engage. Next stage is court, for which I have been quoted £42k.
Looking at my options.
One is to get a loan to fund court, which I would then declare as a debt that he'd be liable for half of.
The other option is to divorce without the settlements and let him sweat it out. The decree nisi is in progress and one of the benefits of being divorced would be that it would hopefully get him out of his denial state.
But what are the implications/ risks of this?
Some details...
He was removed from the house 2 years ago due to DV. I petitioned for divorce immediately after. 2 kids, 5 and 15 that he barely sees. He pays min CMS. I live in the mortgaged house and support myself and the kids with no help from him. My lawyer has written to him several times. No response.
