Hi all
looking for advice/experiences please…
The FDR scheduled for end of September is fast approaching. Under the Order pension reports were to be filed by the court by end of August. Unfortunately the expert whom we have instructed has states that their timeline for producing a report will be 20-25 weeks from end of July. Ex’s pension is wortj around £450k, mine is £90k. Marriage was 7 years , one child aged 6. Ex has apparently also recently applied for 50/50 shared care through court. I will be opposing this.
In the circs - is it tactically more advantageous to apply for an adjournment of the hearing given pension report will not be available or to just attend the FDR without pension report?
Note that ex’s case that he needs more than a 50/50 split on finances (despite higher earning capacity) as he has 13 year old son from previous marriage living with him, for housing purposes, and this will be reaffirmed if he should be successful in 50/50 application. Therefore it may be to his advantage to delay the FDR at this time
shoukd I apply to adjourn?
ex and I both LIP and whilst it was his job to obtain pension reports under the order, I ended up doing it instead.
