Hello Mums net community, so nice to be able to post and share some my divorce challenges. I have been trying to negotiate a settlement with my soon to be ex husband and solicitors. I feel like My solicitor is pushing me to sign a consent of order including a settlement and clauses/conditions to receive this settlement from my ex which are not in my best interest, ie I’d have to wait for him to sell the property whilst it seems that he has other options to give me the settlement which he refuses to consider. So my issue is that my solicitor is telling me that I have no grounds to go to court and settle the matter at court whilst I feel that this divorce has been taking 2 years & we haven’t been able to find a common ground....the only agreement we have found is on the settlement money but no deadline for him to give me this settlement has been firmly agreed. Along the divorce process my ex has missed every deadlines which were set and he has a habit of procrastination...So I feel that the matter would get settled at court much quicker and the court would enforce it & he would take the matter more seriously to respect deadlines. My sollicitor is encouraging me to continue negotiating with my ex whilst this process has been taking 2 years and I have spent thousands of pounds already in fees. Has anyone had to go to court for their divorce and what was your experience of it? Thanks ever so much for your help, I’m in desperate need of advice. I’m grateful for your help
