Certificate of entitlement to a decree

[Yellowshirt]

I've received the letter today and the court will sit in august. My wife is a teacher and earns considerably more than me but she has decided I should pay the costs.she has already left me in debt with overdrafts and credit cards. I can't afford her costs. Can I send a letter to the court or anything just to ease the pressure I feel she is putting me under. I do have a solicitor who I have paid £600 to so far but I just don't have more and more money to throw at solicitors. I'm struggling to pay rent, child maintenance, debts and just live at the moment.
I want her out of my life so the lies on the divorce petition didn't bother me but I struggling to see how she can now expected me to pay.

Did the certificate say you would be ordered to pay costs? If so, follow the instructions on the papers and write to the court and her / her solicitor.

It says subject to a detailed assessment.
Am I allowed to write to the court?

Only the court can decide you have to pay costs. I assume she’s the petitioner and she’s ticked the box asking the court to award costs and they said yes. It’s normal if you are the respondent in an unreasonable behaviour case for costs to be awarded against you. The letter should tell you that you don’t need to attend the nisi unless you’re opposing a costs order being made against you in which case you can attend but I think you have to serve notice on the other person. But you’d need good reason because if it’s an UB petition then the entitlement to a decree nisi means the court has found the grounds proven.
