What happens now please? I’ve been down an internet rabbit hole but nothing seems to apply to this situation.
I signed everything over to abusive ex as I valued my mental health over the money that is so important to him.
He made it clear that he would make me run up a vast legal bill before giving me a penny so I took the chance that it would be refused by a judge.
I had no legal representation (as I would rather walk away with my recent inheritance intact and use it to help provide a roof over our heads than risk it and end up with nothing) he has a solicitor.
The reasons for refusal are as below:
‘It is unclear whether the respondent has obtained indepent legal advice.
The result of the draft order appears to be that the applicant (him) receives 100% of the marital assets, with the respondent’s needs being met by what appears to be entirely non-marital assets. Furthermore notwithstanding the above the applicant would still receive more than the respondent irrespective of the source of the asset.
Please explain how that outcome is fair taking account of the section 25 factors.’
i don’t know where to start with this.. what do I need to do and what is the procedure going forward and rough timelines please?
