am i allowed to mention his previous convictions?

Hi I am just writing yet another statement of Issues as my ex is still refusing to produce his financial disclosure despite penal notice and 3 wasted hearings ( with no punishement whatsoever!!! ) Anyway my question regards his criminal behaviour ranging from DV, contempt of court, fraud assaults on police officers etc) am I allowed to mention this in my statement of issues as his hatred of any law is the reason for this case heading for a FH? any ideas anyone please? x

I would be interested in this out one from someone who can answer. I have my final hearing this Friday and to date my ex has refused to complete his form E and several wasted court hearings when he hasn''t turned up, he has been served a court order for wasted costs which he hasn''t acknowledged. He has done nothing other than bury his head. He now tells me he is going to court on Friday to ask for an adjournment as he has been abroad on holiday for a week and has just returned today, saying he hasn''t time to sort a solicitor out. I am so worried that the court will adjourn even though my sol wrote to him asking to pig his request in writing by last Wednesday. Nothing has been done about him refusing to take part either which is frustrating.

Although conduct is rarely taken into account, there are some instances where the poor or obstructive conduct of one party is relevant (or the Judge may decide that it''s relevant) - ie reckless financial (mis)management, excessive gambling, deliberately frustrating the proceedings by withholding documentation or information. etc

It is better to raise any relevant conduct issues in the Statement of issues and have them dismissed than to NOT raise any relevant conduct issues which may be relevant to the case.

The types of conduct you have both mentioned could be included in your statement of issues.

Hopefully it will at catch up with him at the final hearing and he will get done for litigation conduct and you get costs awarded.
