Financial court order advice please

Long thread so please bear with me. Got a financial court order against ex husband to be 3 years ago and he was ordered to pay me a monthly amount until agreed lump sum paid off. He stated in May this year that all payments were done but I said I thought there was a few more to be paid. His answer was for me to get all last 3 years bank statements and highlight his money paid in, but I said no that the order is against him and he should be the one responsible to prove what he has paid and i would then cross check with mine.

I told him until its sorted that I am not prepared to sign decree absolute. He is not happy at all.

I have now received a solicitors letter from his new solicitor stating I need to confirm when I will apply for decree absolute and also to send all proof and documents to her showing all ex payments.

Am I legally required to do this?
Sorry but there was another issue. Part of court order was his car to be sold and funds come to me as part of total he had to pay me. I organised the car to go to a lock up and someone bought the car for £10k. The garage stated it would be put in safe overnight for me to get first thing next morn. Lock up was broken into that night and apparently £10 stolen. I feel my ex may have been involved in setting it all up. He is now saying he doesn;t owe me the £10K which was part of court order. Car and log book in his name so where do I stand with this?

Thanks for taking the time to read

Why not just providence evidence if you believe he’s not complied with the agreement?

id the car has been stolen then there’s no longer an asset - other than you understanding what insurance situation cks status is and perusing monies

you could quickly run into more costs to resolve this

Things sound like they have got quite acrimonious.

Re the payments, I can understand you feeling the onus is on him, however, it is you who believes the amount is incorrect from what I understand. So imho as long as you have the data from bank statements, you should go through and figure out if there is a discrepancy or not.

How else can you reply sensibly to a solicitor unless you do your own due diligence here?

Do you have access to the bank statements or not? Can you get them easily if not?

Re the car, I can understand why you would be completely outraged at that, and that sounds like a very unfair situation. Was the car insured? If so, all insurance money should go to you surely if your getting that money was part of the financial order.

I'd be getting solicitors advice on that point, have you asked for details of what he has done re insurance?
