solicitors and consent order

My solicitor has been contacting his solicitor weekly, getting no reply.

Have just found out from my Ex that he did sign the Consent Order on 16th Feb!!! HOORAY

That would have been in response to my sol contacting his sol on 13th Feb.

My sol also contacted his sol on 20th and 27th Feb with no responses.

So yesterday, when I found out fom my Ex that he had signed on 13th Feb, I let my sol know. My sol contacts his sol, with THAT knowledge, and now his sol is suddenly going to get the paperwork back to my sol !!!

Hopefully I can sign today.

I know now that my Ex wants his equity as soon as possible so why did his solicitor not just send the paperwork back when Ex had signed it?

Also, does anyone know if the proposed consent order is sent to the judge electronically or by post?

How long roughly will judge take in Southampton?

Thank you.

I don`t know of any sol that emails a CO, they are sent old school on paper for the Judge to consider.


Southampton are fairly quick, but it will still be weeks probably, still once signed it goes in the special procedure list and its just a matter of time.

Thanks dukey.
