I have an occupation order preventing my husband from living in my house but it does not have a specific end date. It just states unril financial matters are resolved? Does nyone know if there is a time frame that will apply or can i just continue living here forever and just not agree to any financial arrangements? :blink:

Technically the order will run indefinitely unless finances are resolved. However, you use the term ''agree'' whereas I use the term ''resolved'' which means that the court can impose an order upon you both if proceedings are issued and no agreement can be reached.

If you string out proceedings unnecessarily you may be at risk of an adverse costs order if your husband makes a reasonable offer which you refuse.

Thank you for your reply. Finances are going to be difficult to resolve as My husband has taken virtually all my assets. . Basically he took everything from the home of value despite the order saying that neither of us could do so. This included cars, plasma tvs, main bed,furniture, tent,my personal jewelry, fine are etc. All valued at over100k. He in solicitors letters has then accused me of going into th property before he left when he was out and robbing th place.

He then went to the joint business account and cleared it out without any discussion with me. (he was a joint eqall director until jan) he has now reigned leaving me with thousands of pounds of liabilities and a business that now cannot function.


Ive tried to make him an offer but he refuses.

Courts don''t tend to be interested in second hand household goods unless they have a reasonable second hand sale value, usually £500 or more, who took what and when is almost imposable to prove, clearing bank accounts is another matter.
