All research suggests that the Conditional Order of Divorce (Decree Nisi) should not be signed until the Financial Settlement is in place.
One side is being pressured by the other to sign the Conditional Order despite refusing to engage about the Financial Settlement.
Is the 'one side' correct in refusing to sign (initial Divorce was done jointly) until the Financial Settlement is at least well underway, if not agreed? Can they simply state this is the reason they are not signing the Conditional Order without any consequence?
Or should they just sign it and then progress with the Financial aspect which will need to be finalised before the Divorce is granted anyway?
