Drawing a line under sharing the marital assets - when does that happen?

We separated over a year ago and had our nisi granted 6 months ago. STBXH is still whining about the finances which is why we have not applied for an absolute. However, I hope it will not be too much longer.

Can anyone help me with this query please? What I want to know is at what point do finances cease to become shared as a marital asset?
I had all my financial information available for the first mediation session we had way back earlier this year – he had jack sh** ready. My savings and pension have increased since then – will I therefore have to resupply (e.g. CETV) and resubmit new figures to form the basis of the agreement we get the mediator to help us draw up?

Also, my dad wanted to help me out by giving me some money recently but I told him to wait until I was divorced as I did not want sh** head to declare that he wanted ( and was entitled to a share of it)

Where exactly do you draw a line under the finances and what is in your own accounts? After separation? Decree nisi? Or between nisi and absolute? Is there a hard and fast rule on this? Confused

Any advice would be really welcome. Thank you SO much.

Sorry, should have said, we haven't had to re-do Form Es (yet)

"However, I am insisting that if the house valuation has to be recent so does his pension valuation"

😂

What's good for the goose is good for the gander. 😂

Fair enough logic.

Luckily in Scotland everything is valued at time of seperation. Termed the relevant date.

Oh the Joys of being in Scotland.

No University fees to pay. Houses are not confiscated to pay for health care in old age. Spousal Maintenance seldom awarded for more than three years.
