It was written in the financial agreement during my divorce that if Ex-H sold his shares in our previously jointly owned business during the following 5 years that I would have to agree to the valuation/could have my own valuation done and would be entitled to a set percentage of the value. If not within 5 years I could force a sale or have a valuation done and be paid out that way.
I found out my ex had sold his shares at the end of last year, within the 5 years. I was not advised of this and have no idea what the valuation was or what he received.
I advised my solicitor when I discovered this and she wrote to him, reminding him of his responsibilities written in the financial settlement. He has not replied. She has been very slow and I have chased this up 3 times. Only to be told we haven't had any response.
Solicitor now says she will invite him to mediation (which he will ignore, I'm certain) and ask for financial disclosure and they have to do this before they apply to the courts for the consent order to be implemented. I asked how much going to court would cost and was told anywhere between 5K and 15K.
Does this sound right?
