The settlement for my divorce was agreed in court at the beginning of December, but the money has yet to be paid. I have telephoned my solicitor on several occasions to ask what’s being done about this, but can’t seem to get any answers. I am paying my solicitor monthly, but I don’t feel this should go on much longer and would welcome your advice.
You can ask the court for a copy of the order, which will specify when payment has to be made. It should contain a provision for interest if it is late. Your solicitor will be able to advise on how you can enforce it. Write to your solicitor asking for an explanation for the delay, and ask for details of the firm’s complaints procedure if necessary.
