He claims he has no income or little income and will stand in court and stay same.
My advice is try to avoid emotionally charged statements such as the above, stick to what you can prove, not what you think you know, and do what your solicitor tells you after you meet them.Of course he has income but I know him. He’ll declare breadline poverty farmer rather than pay me . It’s the hill he’s prepared to die on. I’m not looking for legal advice. I’m meeting solicitor soon, but if anyone has had any experience or same I’d appreciate you sharing.
Thank you Thirsty. Seeing it reflected to me yes it is bonkers. There are some great points for me to discuss with solicitor when I meet her.So, fun fact #1 - you two are both still legally married.
Fun fact #2 - you are both still liable for the mortgage payments.
Personal opinion - your mortgage payment arrangements are bonkers and it's clearly being used as a controlling tactic.
So stop allowing yourself to be controlled.
Set up a standing order now directly to the bank for the same payments you were previously making; better still, if you can afford to do so, pay the full amount of the mortgage.
When the rate changes, modify your portion of the mortgage accordingly (or make the full payment if you can afford to do so).
When you see your Solicitor, file for divorce, child maintenance, pension waivers and settlement of the family home equity in direct proportion to the mortgage payments made.
Better yet, again if you can afford to do so, see if you can raise the money to buy out his share. For that to work though, you'll need to make sure there's no arrears.
These mills grind very slowly at best, and COVID is making them slower. The entire process will take at best two years; and you'll need to emotionally disengage. He is making his choices; you have to make yours.
