We have funds held with solicitors pending financial resolution. Heading to a final hearing in a couple of weeks. We each owe family/friends money and for whatever reason, my ex keeps insisting that monies owed should be paid directly to those who are owed. I thought you each get your ‘share’ and then you pay off your own liabilities, as and when you choose, regardless of whether they are credit card loans, loans from family etc.
How does it work in practice ?
