Areas of Law / Divorce and Family

After a three-year battle to get my share of the marital assets from my divorce my wife was finally forced to sell the former matrimonial home. We agreed what percentage each of us was to receive, but it took nearly two months for the cheque to arrive from my wife’s solicitor. I’m told the delay was the result of a dispute over my wife’s bill.

Your own solicitor should have ensured that, as a condition of your signing the transfer document, your ex-wife’s solicitor entered into a professional undertaking to pay over your share of the net proceeds as per a completion statement previously approved by you. Had this procedure been followed, your ex-wife’s solicitors would have been most unlikely to have delayed paying over your money in breach of his professional and contractual duties.
