I'm assisting a 77yr old veteran in navigating a property settlement filed by his abusive, highly vexatious, not very bright & significantly younger ex de facto.
To date, she has lied repeatedly, which we can easily show with evidence, knowingly filed fraudulent & incomplete court applications & refuses to provide 'full & frank' disclosure. She is a welfare recipient so disclosure should be simple & straight forward. Mediation was a joke, given the deliberate concealment of her other undeclared bank accounts & cash income via a clandestine, undisclosed new de facto relationship. This was readily identified through the small percentage of disclosure we did receive.
She applied for a DVO in the local magistrate's court not long ago (still ongoing), 18 months post separation. It was filled with irrational claims & false allegations, rambling, imaginary nonsense regarding apparent 'fear' suffered by her children & twice, this application has been deemed by two magistrates to contain nothing that constitutes DV. The entire application is motivated by financial greed as the DVA's 'spousal pension', is awarded indefinitely IF she can prove she suffered DV at the hands of a war vet.
However, very recently, she filed an 'Initiating Application' with the Federal Circuit & Family Court and In Part F- asking about other court cases & orders, she answered no. Every document contained in the application has been incorrectly filled out with many facts, EG that she's the mother of two dependants, omitted. Two conflicting, court sworn statements later, has she in actual fact, attempted to pervert the course of justice?
At no time did she suffer violence of any kind, her false accusations are easily disproved & her deception, perjury & bad character are clearly & demonstrably obvious. However, with a caveat now placed on the property with the demand it be sold & she be paid $250.000 plus her legal costs, the question begs, how can someone entirely lacking legal entitlement beyond the almost $50K she's already walked away with, possibly get away with this BS? The lunatic is running the asylum with the solicitors on BOTH sides, clearly remiss in their duty, ethics & conduct. After flushing $14K in fees to the initial solicitor down the toilet, we're now hoping to soon secure representation somewhere else but it seems to me that no one is addressing the elephant in the room, which is, why should any honest citizen, be held to ransom by a vindictive, vengeful gold digger who's manipulating the legal system to inflict further abuse, all without witnesses or a single shred of supporting evidence, mountains of opposing evidence & no legal or rightful claim whatsoever?
To add, relationship lasted 5 years, she didn't work, contributed nothing to the house which was owned outright before the relationship began & in addition to two undisclosed bank accounts, receives money from an undisclosed trust fund set up before the death of her father. Centrelink & the DVA have been informed.
Thank you. Any advice very welcome.
