Separated, how much should I provide?

Probably best to do this via text, rather than through solicitors for a not-very-reasonable charge of £hundreds. Mind you, knowing your lawyers, they'd probably send the letter to the wrong person anyway.

Heck no.

It doesn't have to go via solicitors, although there are arguably good reasons to do so as it is part of the settlement discussions.

It certainly doesn't get sorted by text message whoever does it.

A letter, with a paper trail is needed. Should ExMrsRS claim she wasn't aware of the terms, Jack needs to be able to prove that she was. Ye olde ink and paper is more credible than sms.

Agreed - she needs a copy of the lease letter so she can't claim she believed it was Jack asking for the car back because of the delay in agreement rather than the end of the term.

Worst scenario is she refuses to return it until a new one is forthcoming I suppose.

Would that not be theft?

Can't you just see the response though? - 'it was not my client's intention to PERMANENTLY deprive...'etc and Jack's employer would have to report the 'crime', not Jack.

Thanks all, I will construct an email forwarding the email from my company instructing me that it needs to be returned by 1st July. I will also put it in writing and post it.

I opened bill from solicitor £360 for a few emails between me and the other side relating to final offer proposal, great value that is....

No - breach of contract.

I would just ignore it and wait for either a reminder or let them know you have no money left to pay it till you receive what you are due from your settlement.

This whole thing is just becoming a farce, I cannot believe your ex can put you through all this. I am so angry, frustrated and saddened for you, Jack.

Please stay strong and take care.

I stand by my previous post that someone shot me down in flames for:

Jack, I think your ex needs to get over herself, grow up and start acting with some dignity.


Expecting her ex husband to fund her lifestyle as if she is some celeb is ridiculous. What's more, surely she should have enough about her to want to be independent and do things herself? Not to have to rely on the ex for 'maintenance'.


She needs to grow up, get a job (like everybody else) and start behaving like a grown woman, not a pathetic character who is still living in 1940. Its as if the women's movement never happened!


She should be grateful to be getting whatever share of the house sale and be thankful she has furniture so that she can furnish her new house.pathetic.


Apologies, I have been following this thread and its been irritating me that she has no back bone.



How any one can act in this way is beggars belief. I agree with the others- time is up, game over, go straight to court. She has been dragging it out and having it her own spoilt way for far too long.

Take back control Jack, put her in her place.

Kezzygirl, she is now working, which makes it even more atrocious what she is expecting from Jack.

Jack, can you not apply to court yourself for a final hearing, or do you have to got through your incompetent solicitor? As I have mentioned before I don't fully understand the legal system.

Take care.

the main body of my text was my previous post from January, which someone shot me down about at the time. I was pointing out that my feelings remain the same regarding Jack's ex.
