What steps can we take to reach a fair agreement?

The four basic steps to reaching an agreement on divorce finances are: disclosure, getting advice, negotiating and implementing a Consent Order.

What is a Consent Order and why do we need one?

A Consent Order is a legally binding document that finalises a divorcing couple's agreement on property, pensions and other assets.

I recently applied for divorce, it was uncontested by my ex. I submitted all the paperwork and paid all the fees.
The clerk called me yesterday to advise me that the judge denied my application as my ex owes me 1800$ in child support arrears and she feels that "Proper arrangements have not been made in regards to the children".

I cannot get a divorce because he owes me money??? It makes no sense and I am beyond frustrated.
We have been separated for 4 years.
I don't even care about the money anymore, its like getting blood from a stone.

Can anyone help me?? They told me to get a lawyer to get the money, but that seems redundant as a lawyer would inevitably cost double then what I would still never get out of him for the arrears....

Any help would be so appreciated.

Hi,

As this is a UK site - and child maintenance is dealt with differently here - I am afraid it is unlikely anyone will be able to help with your specific legal query. We are however happy to offer support and assistance with anything that doesn't require a knowledge of Canadian law.
