Hi Wikivorce Team,
First of all a huge thank you to all of you for helping the community.
I am LIP /Respondent and my final hearing is next month.What happens in the final hearing if there are issues which are not resolved like valuation of the assets and non disclosure of the assets.
My Ex is manipulating so many things and providing false numbers and CGTs.His lawyer is threatening me to agree to those numbers if not i will be charged his legal fees.
Its clearly evident that his calculations are fraud.
Please help me.should i agree to those wrong calculations.

You are not required to agree to calculations that you believe are wrong or indeed fraudulent.

The threats of costs are sometimes used by lawyers as unfair pressure against unrepresented parties.

Regarding the unresolved valuation issues and non disclosures - if nothing is done it becomes 'too late' to address it on the day of the Final Hearing and a judge will often not be willing to abandon the hearing so will proceed despite the issues.

If these are key to your case then you should be pushing for the issues to be resolved ahead of the final hearing by clearly documenting the problem in a schedule of deficiencies, making the court aware that the lack of agreement in these areas could compromise the Final hearing and requesting the judges directions.

If you need help with any of this consider our support service:

Thank you Wikivorce.
Should I write to the court about the non disclosures and ask for their directions?
There are so many undisclosed assets ,shares accounts ,wrong valuation of chattels are to name a few issues.
Can I request for a adjournment stating the reason of nondisclosed assets which are very important to reach a final outcome?

You need to copy communications with the court to him. If you are seeking adjournment and directions, you'll need a D11 application.

Thank you Hadenoughnow,
Do I need to let the other party Know about the Form D11?
Do I need to draft all the issues if we goto final hearing or just few important ones?
How long does the court take to respond to D11 application?
