Hello!
I think I know the answer to this one...
Consent Order passed Oct 4th. Decree Absolute passed 9th November. Nothing is outstanding.
Ex is now saying he wants half the contents of the house. He has never asked for this before.
This should have been dealt with at consent order stage shouldn't it?

Thanks.

House contents tend to have a low value and they stay with the person who retains the property if that is what is happening, if he wants personal belongings cloths ect that is reasonable of course any fixed items is a no no, if you have kids any items used by them again is a none starter, if he is asking for the usual items you expect to find in a home he is wasting his time.

He could force the issue under liberty to apply, but that would be very unwise and potentially expensive, to make him feel better tell him I left with a couple of bin liners of cloths bar that not even a tooth brush, oh and all my suit jackets got binned, so it's not that bad.

Hi,
Is it a simple case that he said he wants half of everything in the house, or simply wants a small pile of cash for 'his share', it may be that he wants some specific items that he sees as 'his'. It may be that his request while it should have been sorted out before is not unreasonable.
Unless you have a collection of Ming vases its unlikley to be worth the hassle/cost of going to court for.

Agreed Mr LB. Few things will upset a judge as arguments over silly things, judges do not have the time or patience to consider who should have a sofa or a Telly, the order stands if no specific provision is made it's a case of telling him to rethink and take some legal advice
