Hello,
The ex-wife and myself had a business. She was director, I was a shareholder. We separated mid-November. Her solicitor sent my solicitor a request for an undertaking that I continue to operate the business, which I did. Come the next April, I left the company.
It's complicated due to her either denying or threatening to deny access to the kids, I didn't want to do things to trigger her. I asked her for a ESC but she refused. Now all the family court stuff is done, I want my wages. I rang Fairwork Ombudsman who said due to me being a private shareholder of the company I need to sue privately. Unfortunately my solicitor didn't know that. I now want to do that. The dollar amount is 20-30k, any advice on which court to sue in. Or any other opinions?
P.S. I understand that up until the separation, it was a family business. I know I can't claim for that time, just after we separated.
She took an FVIO out on me in mid December too preventing us from being in the same place.
