I agreed to return $31, 000 in retained rental payments which the ex paid " on my behalf,for us, as a way of enforced saving for him". He earned 40% more than me. I deducted $20, 000 for "pain and suffering " incurred by me due to a sexual /vaginal infection he gave me when having sex outside of our relationship which i believed to be monogamous. I can't prove the source of the infection. After two years he had not responded to my offer. At 2.5 years he asked(through a solicitor ) for $24,000 as he had hardship issues. At this point he hes not responded to my reply. I can't move on with the threat of his potential claim exhisting and can't get a response from him. Can he continue to request money from me? (Out of time but claiming hardship).Can i obtain a binding financial agreement or court order without his participation.? Sue h.
