Hi,
Would really appreciate your help.
My wife and I
are going through a divorce and we have agreed the way we will split our
assets (basically she will take the house and car) and agreed also that,
once this happens, there will be no further claims / payments.
I
got the
petition through from her lawyer, and in the
petition, they have ticked the boxes that say that:
"The
petitioner [my wife] may be granted the following
financial orders:
- and order of maintenance pending suit
-
periodical payments order
- secured provision order
- lump sum
order
- property adjustment order
- order under section 24B, 25B
or 25C of the Act of 1973 (Pension sharing / Attachment order)"
I am concerned that this is completely out of line with what I had agreed
with my wife. Their argument is that this is simply standard procedure and
I don't need to worry about it.
Do I need to worry? Is this a
way of ignoring our previous agreement to redo the financial split, or is
it simply standard procedure and the previous agreement will then be the
basis for all of these orders.
Any thoughts welcomed!
