Ex unable to verify address - delay divorce payment?

[disappointedconfused]

I didn’t seem to have much luck with my post yesterday about CMS telling me they can’t verify ex address and likely they will close the case ( I will of course resubmit)

but ex is likely to start chasing me for the divorce settlement soon - the deadline to pay as per the financial consent order is January 1st ….my question is if he is refusing to verify his address for CMS he’ll need to provide formal proof of address for the transfer of equity form presumably and bank account info for the payment to be made Im inclined to argue then it can’t be paid….

if he frustrates the process and I miss the 1st jan deadline to pay him presumably he can’t take me to court / say that I’m in breach of the consent order?

You need to follow the legal processes and separate the two things because they are two separate things.

Thanks @Mrsttcno1 but If he needs to prove his address for the transfer of equity (and payment) then I can then give that info to CMS presumably…..?
if he withholds his address because he doesn’t want CMS tracking him down surely that’s his problem and that’s him frustrating the process rather than me breaching the financial consent order?

You can give it to CMS if you want to but they don’t have to just take your word for it- CMS will still ask for him to confirm his own address, so you’d be no further forward.

The only way you’d not be breaching the order is if he LEGALLY has to provide those details in order to transfer equity/payment. It would have to be something legal, a process, rather than you saying “I want you to prove your address before I give you x”

Thanks - yes looking at what is required for the transfer of equity it says that both parties need to prove their identities and proof of address
