Refusal to engage in settlement

[ForAFriend123]

To be brief does anyone have any advice/experience of where 1 party refuses to engage in a financial settlement?

What happens when there are children involved and the parent they live with desperately needs a settlement for them to be able to buy/rent.

Any savings are now depleted getting a "lives with" order finalised and nothing left for a financial battle (which solicitor has said is likely to happen )

You'll need to take this to court unfortunately

just been thru this with my partner and his ex. Refused to engage or negotiate. Court is the only option. You can do the form A yourself to save money just do some research on it it’s not that difficult. We found that 2 days before my partners court date his ex decided to settle. Having a court date tends to focus peoples minds a bit more. Especially if they have not complied with court directions I.e form E etc. good luck
