Hi all

Just wanting to see if anyone has any experience with financial statements? The ex has put false information saying she pays $350/week rent but she lives for free with her mum and stepdad...

Is there any way the family court would consider this if we were able to prove it?

Cheers

Ask to see rental receipts for the past 3 months, showing which company this money is being paid too.

What does it matter? She is gonna claim she is paying the folks $350 for room and board. Pick your battles.

Ask for more details of rent being paid. Hope it is declared as rent, then report mother and stepdad to ATO for undeclared income. Ex might then back away from declaring the paying of rent.

It matters to us tremendously. Because of this statement, we have become financially liable for everything.

There is a 25 page court document outlining the psychological damage caused to the daughter by the mother which now needs hardcore treatment at $250 a session (including the ones between the mother and daughter), which we have been told to pay because she cannot afford it on top of child support, travel and accommodation to see the daughter.

When/if the daughter is allowed to stay with us overnight, then we have to pay for flights to the residential town, pick the daughter up, pay flights back to our residential town for the two, and then pay again for flights to return the daughter and the non resident parent, and then for the return flights for the non resident parent so that is 6 flights at $500 each for a weekend visit, plus the psychologist costs (at the mother's leisure) plus child support.

So, yes it matters.

Sorry I also missed the part where she stated she was living independently with the children

OK, she can request those sorts of additional expenses, but it is up to her to establish the facts that establish the necessity for such expenses. You can simply say that the expenses are unnecessary and request that half travel expenses be met by each party and leave the funny looking person with the funny looking wig to work it out.

I'm willing to bet he will not agree to the crazy expenses the crazy ex is asking for and whether or not she pays rent or not is really neither here not there.

Am I missing something? The kid lives with mum? The same mum that caused 25 pages of court documented emotional damage? Why aren't you going for primary care?

We have done everything possible done to try be apart of daughters life court orders ruled all these costs at our expense based on her financial statement and ICL has agreed based on the fact the if the mother has to do or front any costs then it will more than likely not happen.

They won't reverse residency because daughter is far too alienated (stated in pre-trial docs) and may jeopardise any future relationship. They have ordered that the mother try reverse her damage with the help of the psychologist.
