bank account

Hi I am hoping my partner will be amicable with regards to our defacto break up. When he broke up I think he thought we would just work it out between us, nothing formal. But after 24 years, we owe it to each other to do it fairly. And I just want to get on with it now, no more contact and...

I know this may seem silly. I know that when you go on an age pension, they want to know what money you have. How do you go about having everyday money like $20.000 in a bank account that you access all the time for clothes, bills, hair new pair of shoes, etc? Do they want to know if you draw...
