Finances and absolute

12 replies

I had a short marriage of 3 months. We had no house, children or joint bank accounts. I did own my own house before marriage.
I had a annulment done and the decree nisi has been granted. She's asking for a clean break order.
Can I still go ahead and do the absolute before the clean break? Neither of us is looking to claim anything of each other so I take it there's no issue with doing the absolute?

You can do it.
You still need to sort the financial consent order but you can do that after the absolute if you want.

I got divorced first and sorted finances after. If neither of you are claiming from the other, it does not matter.

Are you getting divorced or is the marriage annulled ( ie in the eyes of the law you we’re never married) the post is confusing

Get legal advice. I would tie it up at the same time and that you have a clean break provision for yourself in there too.

What would happen if she doesn't sign the clean break my solicitor has drawn up???. It basically says we both walk away with what we each brought in so she doesn't get anything and vice versa.

If you can't come to a agreement you go to court. Stop asking the questions on a forum, get proper legal advice form a decent solicitor to protect yourself and get it sorted.

I got a solicitor doing it. But the other side has gone extremely quiet for last few weeks, so I'm asking questions to understand what could happen if things went sideways

Then you get the application in to sort it through court, suggesting a lack of response from the other party. Solicitor can advise.

If they've gone quiet and not playing ball, somethings up if you can't agree how to settle things, somethings up. Ask the court to decide how to settle the ending of the marriage.

Would I need a barrister I'd I went to court for clean breka to be approved
