Non-payment of lump sum - advice needed

0 replies

After 3 years of non-cooperation & general stalling/procrastination by my ex-h I finally had an ancillary relief hearing & agreed to a clean break with a lump sum payment to be paid to me by 1st of October (ex-h did not want to move from marital home despite initially agreeing to sell so agreed to let him buy me out.). Lump sum was subject to interest if not paid by the set date, payment was not received on the agreed date & despite numerous solicitor's letters I only received notification last week that he was unable to finance the lump-sum due to current financial climate & would therefore be putting the house on the market. At £200,000 more than the valuation my settlement was based on.....

He also says he will not be paying interest on the money owed as this was only in the case of a transfer of deeds - not if the house was to be sold.

I intend to go back to court for an enforcement order but want to know what the possible outcomes are & how a court will view his piss-taking behaviour?
