Acknowledgement of Service - return of

I have two separate questions - so I will post separately - this being the first.....

I have had my petition to sent to my husband who has taken it to his solicitor.

The 14 days is due tomorrow. He says the petition is with his solicitors and they are not returning it on the deadline and his solicitor told him not to worry!!

Obviously I want things sorted in a proper manner with the minimum cost - please advise

1. when should i tell my solicitor this information
2. what i should ask my solicitor to do
3. how can he get away with this?

Thanks.
Carrie

Tell your solicitor now; tell him your stbx has told you the petition has been received by his solicitor and swear an affadavit to that effect - then it can all get going without your stbx ******* you around like this...

He can't get away with this, he's just being difficult.

Carrie, I had my petition sent to scumbags sol, so we know they received it. I waited 6 weeks before my sol suggested doing an affadavit. I took that to the court-3 weeks later we received the acknowledgement of service from scumbags sol, who accused me of holding up proceedings!!! The Court threw out my affidavit, accusing me of being too eager (no pleasing some people!!!).
So, I can't give you any advice, because the rules kept changing for me
Good luck

My stbx has had forms for 8 weeks now. I gave up waiting and signed an affidavit today. Hope it doesn't take another 8 weeks

Last night he told me to "tell my sol to f*** off sending him letters!" Felt like telling him if he had just returned the forms then she wouldn't have to bother but I just kept quiet

Hope we all get sorted quickly, my Consent Order for finance and kids is all drawn up and ready to go so just playing the waiting game.

good luck loopy1 - keep me informed of the progress i am right behind you ... can I follow in your footsteps?

I have just emailed my solicitor following responses on this thread to inform her what he has told me.

I said my main priority now is to keep the roof above my daughter and my own head preferably one without him under it asap as he is causing us distress.

i want 70/30 split at least! and to keep this house - i am so pissed off at him!

Thank you all for your kind posts - i feel very honoured to be part of this group of people, and I am sure none of you deserve this situation to have befallen you.

My best wishes to you all.... Oh I am a bit over emotional today!
Carrie

goodness - don't follow in my footsteps - I take 1 forward then 100 back and seem to endlessly go around in circles!!

Will let you know if anything happens

Take care
