Hi All,
I know it's Christmas time and everyone is busy with their loved ones and I may not get replies to my post quickly.
Just to give you an idea - we are separated, unfortunately, after 14 years of marriage with 3 children 14,11 & 8. I was the sole earner and built a new home in 2013 and sold after separation in July 2016. I have been trying to resolve the property matter since a year now and agreed to her demands that children just see me on Saturday mornings till evenings. Also agreed to take about 30% of matrimonial loans on me so that it gives her bigger amount figure from net asset pool, agreed to give her 70% of net asset pool plus 50% of superannuation, and I will be eventually left with minimal.
My decision was just for the sake of my children.
She agreed and I have instructed my lawyer to draft consent orders and send them to sign. To my surprise she denied to sign it, stating that I am having some property somewhere in Australia. That seems too silly to me and my lawyer has advised me to start an initiating application in family court. I have already wasted 1 year of time, interest on matrimonial debts plus legal fee.
I have initiated an application in family court.
One more surprise to me is that she changed her lawyer and her lawyer again sent me a letter asking again for the same documents which I had provided earlier... Wat shall I do now? Can I advise them about the one year negotiation I did with her previous lawyer and consider those documents?
I just do not want to waste one more year again to save at least a bit of money for my children's needs but she couldn't understand.
Your comments will be appreciated.
Thanks & best regards
