Ex contesting costs order at decree nisi hearing.

Very thank you. But on STBX's acknowledgement of service paper, they choose option of the not defending divorce but did they do not agree for behaviours I put in petition.

So does this mean courts won't accepting the unreasonable behaviours because the STBX is not accepting the allegation behaviours.

Thank you for the advising

bye

If there is no defence the divorce will proceed provided the Court accepts that the marriage has broken down irretrievably.

It is just a question over whether a costs order is made or not.

I contacted court and they told me that the objection to cost (D11 form) had been passed on to judge a week ago and i should find out in 2 weeks time what is decided.

Do you have any idea what issue the judge is deciding on? i was under the impression that the issue of cost would be decided once a hearing has been listed but that's not happened yet.

I doubt there will be a hearing. A judge will decide 'on paper' without a hearing and you will find out the result in due course.

Charles

thank you. Will update once i knowing the outcome. STBX still saying can't afford the 550£ I asked, because they are receiving benefits as income..

Lets see what happens. I have feeling judge will do no cost order because STBX saying they on benefits

Just received not the news I was hoping for. Burys St Edmunds judge made an order for the matter to be heard remotely in a court closer to me.

Now waiting for matter to be listed. Don't know how long it will take now and confused why the judge in burys St Edmunds couldn't just hear the matter by telephone him/her self if already ordered regional to hear by telephone!!!

Bury St Edmunds is an administrative centre - if a hearing is required they will refer to the local courts.

I am a bit confused about your reference to your ex having legal aid. This is usually only available where there is a combination of documented domestic abuse and a low income.

I am also surprised that they have chosen the court route to debate costs. Has there been any negotiation, ie an offer to pay half?? Has it been suggested the costs can be considered when the finances are settled?

Without knowing the details of the matter it is hard to comment on what the outcome may be.. Charles is the one best placed to comment on the options available to the judge.
