had a hearing on finacnial matters - not married, applying under TOLATA and childrens act for forced sale of two jointly owned flats (one is rented out, one exP resides in but doesnt contribute full costs for).
he appeared after one month being AWOL with letter from GP saying he was mentally unfit (depression and anxiety) but had no legal rep nor even a mckenzie friend. judege said it was v difficult as his compentency was in quesiotn.
anyways... hearing set for april FDR style - presumably meaing along these lines?
www.divorce-online.co.uk/process/applications/finances-applying.htm so all submisisons etc - full bnk statements etc needed?
plus june two days set for trial - what does trial mean in this context? how does it work? stand in witness box etc? costs tons right?
exP asked judge to order me to mediate - my barrister pointed out i ahd tried to mediate this eyar twice and it had been fruitless (was in his "up" ie agresive phase). judge said we could mediate still but dates set gave deadline - which is true.
outside court exP veered form stating 2i will sign everythign now jsut give the papers"(ie me to ahve my share plus his share in trust for the DC) to "i want ALL of my 50% share as i am going to go home to live abroad". my barrister pointed out we could agree outside court and then get consent from court (how long does this take? few days if consent order sent in?) but clealry nothing could be signed today - and he needed legal advice. his equity in the properties emans he cant get legal aid tho he ahs no income...
tehre was also a suiggstion his houseing needs ahd to be considered - espec as he has MH issues.
who is responsible for that?
legally i am not as we were not married?
(i moved out early 2008 - he has had nearly 3 years to consider options...)
he was clearly not well but dont know how much put on for judge... ugh.
