Hi, I had a cheque for $67,000 (from the sale of my home) when I separated from my de facto after 18 years.
I had a new boyfriend at the time, who I trusted inexplicably. The new boyfriend said I should let him put the cheque in his bank account so I wouldn't lose any of my family benefits as a single mother (I have always worked casually since I became a mother so I could look after my children and work). I stupidly agreed.
That was about 5 years ago. In the meantime we have lived with each other most of the time. I have left twice but he always begs for me to come back and I'm a softy/ idiot and have gone back.
He is a partner of a company that turns over up to 3 million a year. When I met him the business was only a year or two old and turning over probably about 1 million. I have also worked unpaid on this business. My problem is I realize I don't want to be with him anymore. I have moved back into my own house (rental)with my daughters but still date him. I no longer want to even date him but now he says all my money is gone and that I've spent it.
I know that I've maybe spent $30000( that's going large). My question is can I get the rest of my money back?
Kind regards
