When you divorce, you bring your legal contract
of marriage to an end. This legal procedure does not prevent either
you, or your ex- spouse, from asking the Court at any time in the
future for more money.
It is important that the right to ask for more
money after a divorce is dismissed by way of a separate Court Order
made “ancillary” to divorce proceedings or civil partnership
dissolution.
There are two ways in which such a Court
Order can be made:-
1. If you have an agreement and can send to the
Court a “clean break” or “consent” order.
2. If you have no agreement, and one of you
applies to the Court, and the District Judge makes an Order
dismissing your rights to apply for more money.
The Court does not have the power to make
an Order stopping either of you from asking for more money until
Decree Nisi in the divorce, or Conditional Order in dissolution
proceedings, is made.
