Put down that you bought a car for £12k, a holiday for £2k and then the rest as general living expenses. The OR may question this but if you really can't remember where the money went then there is not a lot you can do.
At the end of the day most people (myself included) on this board are here because we are not very good with our finances so the OR is not expecting you to account for every pound. |

The OR will want the solicitors details as it is standard practice to contact the solicitor and obtain the divorce file where there is a financial settlement |

They may check on the divorce. Do you still have the decree nisi or absolute? They may well check up by contacting the court that issued the divorce.
£23k is a lot of money and the OR won't be satisfied with a 'general living expenses' answer. Did you pay off any creditors with this money, go on holiday, buy another car, etc. If this money was paid into your bank account then you can check back in the statements and see if any large amounts you withdrew jog your memory. |
