...it would seem that my ex is not happy unless he is causing me problems.

We were in court in August for a first hearing that turned into a lengthy FDR, a consent order was agreed and it needs to be in court by this Friday 26th September signed by both of us. It was also agreed in court that he would sign a form that allowed me to change the terms of our joint mortgage to an Interest only one until the FMH is sold, it is up for sale. He is now refusing to sign this mortgage form and so the consent is not signed either or in court, I cannot go to court as I am away on business and his sols are now saying they are going to ask for my ex's costs to be paid as I have not signed the consent form, nor will I until he signs the mortgage form. I am self repping and getting a little worried about what is going to hapen. Also, on his form E, completed approx9 weeks ago he stated that he did not intend to cohabit within the next 6 months, however his partner and her daughter are moving in with him this weekend, he has clearly lied on his form E, would this affect the settlement we agreed to? All very confusing I know, I hope someone can offer some advice before I contact the court tomorrow to see if I can have an adjournment. Thank you :o)

Oooooh!
I've seen answers from a moderator 'downbutnotout' who gives brilliant replies to your kind of dilema.
Am fairly new to this site. all I can do is wish you luck x

Technically you should be signing the order as the agreement to sign the mortgage form is not part of the order nor is the order dependent upon it.

However, as a litigant in person you may just get a little latitude from the court so you can try to get an adjournment explaining there are matters which should be brought to the judge's attention, but you cannot attend on the date set due to professional committments. You might get away with it....but it is only a might.

I understand it is not part of the consent order, but if I sign that then I am making myself wholly responsible for the mortgage and basically putting money in his pocket until it is sold. The judge agreed that it was fair to change it over. It would seem once again my scumbag ex gets his own way.
