Ask a Law Question, Get an Answer ASAP!
Hello and thank you for contacting JustAnswer.
My name is ***** ***** I specialise in family law. I’m happy to assist you today and I appreciate that is is important that you find a resolution as soon as possible.
Please note that our discussions on this site are for general information purposes and do not create a lawyer-client relationship. It is always recommended that you consult with a local solicitor for specific legal information.
I'll do my best to resolve this for you, please give me time to review your question and I will revert back to you shortly.
Please bear in mind though that this is an email service and not live chat and therefore I may not respond immediately.
Do you have any agreement at all as to what will happen with the proceeds of the sale?
Have you been to mediation yet regarding the finances?
I understand.
If you have a broad agreement to share the asset equally, this is a good starting point. However, the other issues do need to be resolved. I'd suggest starting mediation as soon as possible.
The sale can still go ahead - if you are not agreed on the asset share/ division through mediation (or a court application if this fails) at the point of completion then the conveyancer can simply hold the funds until such time as you do reach agreement.
I would really advise trying to sort out the overall picture before sharing the proceeds of the sale.
Can I assist further today?
I didn't hear from you again, but I trust that the information provided was of assistance.
Thank you for your enquiry today. I am happy to answer follow-up questions - please do get in touch with requests for extra information or further queries and I will do my best to help you. You can request me personally on a new question thread saving my profile as one of your preferred experts and by tagging me (@PLCLEGAL) at the start of the new thread. Best wishes, Peter.
