Hi. My partner has not divorced his wife who left him 4 years ago (separation). She left him with all the bills and responsibilities that went with it. The bills were in both names. He's a lovely person and took on ALL the bills and declared bankruptcy in his name.
His bankruptcy finalizes in August 2015. No property settlement was officially done, however he has a few handwritten pieces of paper that had a checklist of everything she wanted on it and it was checked off ( this can be confirmed by her adult children). He was (and his son) left almost destitute.
She is now coming out of the woodwork and trying to claim his superannuation monies. How can we stop this? Are we able to get some advice on whether we can show the bankruptcy amounts that were in both names and use this as some sort of incentive for her not to go ahead with her claim? She 'was' responsible for half the debts incurred during there 30 year marriage?
Some advice would be fantastic :/
