Hello Wikivorce and all who come before me.

I am new to this divorce lark and I am trying to find my way around a few things and have somee questions. I apologise if these should be asked elsewhere or have already been answered but the search function didnt help.

Background:
Been married to stbx since 1998, have 3 children, though one is 20 in full time work and lives elsewhere, one is 18 and doing a-level equivalent studies and a 10 year old.

Seperated in 2014 due to stbx behaviour/attitudes.

I am still in MH with stbx after all this time (it's really complicated)

We have agreed to divorce and I filed with the court a few days ago.

We are trying to remain amicable and resolve financial issues.

We have agree divorce on separation for at least 5 years and I have paid the fee.

We have no assets other than a 50% share of a shared ownership house - which she wants to remain living in with the younger children (10 and 18) - and we will look to sell the house when youngest reaches 18 unless stbx can afford to buy me out of my share. It is intended that I should move out.

Here comes the question. I do have a new partner.

When I move out, when I find somewhere - I have £300/mth available, I will not be moving in with my partner. It will be a bedsit/house share (or maybe my car). I need some space and time to myself. Try to deal with my anxiety etc.

However, at some point in the future, I would like to think that one day, if my partner puts up with me long enough, we may settle down together (awe sweet).

Really, here comes the question: On the "Statement of information for a Consent Order in relation to a financial remedy" form there is a statement which reads: I have no intention at present to remarry/enter into a new civil partnership or cohabit.

I am not sure how to respond...what does 'no intention at present' and 'cohabit' mean in this context?

Some clarity would be great?

The meaning of "at present" means "at the moment".

Therefore, at the moment do you have an intention to remarry/enter into a new civil partnership or cohabit (live with)?

The right answer is no as you say you will not be moving in with your partner.

Hope this helps....
