Married but apart...what about our future?

I don''t think I would be confident that your mediator is approaching things correctly.

I don''t think I would be confident that your mediator is approaching things correctly.

Personally I would stop the mediation. It appears grossly unfair with no real reason as to why.

Why don''t you take him to court yourself without a solicitor?

I tried mediation, my ex walked out, came back, was completely unreasonable and the mediator told him that she couldn''t deal with him.

I actually don''t believe you have anything to lose by doing it yourself. The support and documentation is all available on here and you sound like you are doing your homework anyway.

Have a look through some of the posts on here...I''m sure you''ll quickly realise you can do it.

Good luck

Hi just a quick update, I''ve managed to agree through solicitors on a settlement, the Consent Order was drafted and signed and sent off to court. But now I have a new dilemma my ex husband has now come to me today and told me he has quit his job what does that mean for the consent order, is this breach of the consent order? Can anyone with legal advice help me.

Kind regards

I cannot imagine there is a breach of the order as no order could force him to stay in his job. The order might specify that he pay you maintenance and if he cannot, at the point that he pays to pay, he will be in breach.

It is up to your ex to apply to vary the terms of the order if he cannot comply with it but his application is unlikely to be successful if his inability to comply was of his own doing.

You might have to apply to enforce the terms of the order which may spur your ex into obtaining a new job or may lead to the court revisiting the order and varying it in your favour depending upon how the asset base has changed.
