Ex dh and his lawyers- form e and court

[lavenderhoney]

I have posted in divorce but am posting here too - my form e is due in court early next week. I am self representing. His lawyer wrote to me today saying he hadn't bothered with a new form e for ex dh ( we are divorced, it's for financials) as we are so close to resolution. News to me, frankly. We are still waiting for accountants and must press on.

What happens if they/ he don't send it in? Or to me? I only found out this evening when they sent me a late email telling me they weren't planning on sending by the court schedule.

I'm still going to send mine, of course.

Lavender you're not liable for any debts in his name. Unless they are in your joint names you are not liable for them

As you know nothing about them, you aren't liable. Honestly he's going to get a shock in court with this nonsense.

Debts to parents are usually regarded as a 'soft loan', ie it's accepted that the party owes that money, but he's not allowed to prioritise payment of soft loans over a fair division of the assets. Parents will have to wait for their money. Chances are it was never really going to be repaid, or is being treated as an advance inheritance.
