Ex won't supply correct information for form E

[NeedSleepNow]

I have posted so many times before about my ex, he is generally a very angry man and thinks of himself ahead of the children. We have been separated 2 years now, he has moved on and has a new partner, the children live with me and he had then EOW.

We went to mediation and completed form E. He did a terrible job of it, things missing, figures counted twice, supporting documents missing or for the wrong time periods. The mediator saw no real issue with this and tried to get us to agree a financial settlement but I feel that he should be providing all of the right info first. After many emails back and forth the only thing missing now is his payslips, he submitted three payslips from months before rather than the three most recent ones when we swapped form E. I suspect he is refusing to supply them as he has had a big pay rise. He gets angrier and angrier when I mention it.

Would you just keep quiet and agree a settlement to make life easy or insist that he supplies the correct information before agreeing anything?

Insist on correct info. Otherwise he will be difficult on cms, contact etc etc. Show him that you won’t back down.

Also, is he living with his new partner? If so, their financial information is taken into account for the financial settlement (although not cms).

My ex was a nightmare with this. Refusing to declare stuff and just putting stuff I know was wrong on the FormE. He messed about so much we ended up in court and he was STILL trying to mess about, claiming two of his pensions had "evaporated".
Eventually my solicitor told his solicitor that if we didn't settle at the FDR due to his failure to disclose, we would pursue costs against him. That focused his mind and my solicitor was getting bags of stuff at 8am when we were due in court at 11am. We ended up settling at the FDR.

My exh not only refused to give info on his pensions but when he finally did produce all but one of them he insisted he'd lost, he failed to turn up in court. Judge was furious. Told his solicitor who did appear and had been expecting him if he didn't show up next time it would be awarded without him. He did show up then. He was made to pension share so still lost about 1/3 of his pension.

Get the correct info. You have one shot at this.

Go to court. I didn't, I wasn't strong enough and didn't get the pension share.

Do you have a rough idea how much you think you will get?

Do you have a rough idea of how much he is hiding?

How long were you married?

Do you have a mortgage or rent a property with him previously?

Is he self employed?

Have you got a job that you need to declare your earnings?

No he isn't living with her yet but I think as soon as we are divorced he will move in with her.

Yes I am working and have sent through everything needed and more to him anyway.

I don't think he is hiding much to be honest, he has done a shitty job at filling in the forms and in principle doesn't want to send through anything else as he hates being told what to do.

We were married around 15 years and jointly own a mortgaged property. Pensions are very similar in value, I have around £5k more debt than him and he has around £5 savings so not much in the way of assets other than the house b(£200k equity). He is not self employed, I think he doesn't want to send through more payslips as he had had a payrise and it'll mean he should pay more cms

I've decided to write to him asking for the correct information within a certain timescale (he only needs to send recent payslips now but is still refusing, I don't think they are very different to the old ones he sent before but he is just being stubborn) and if he doesn't want to do to that then I will apply to the courts for them to divide up the house.
