I have read your story with interest and the exact same thing has happened to my brother. Except in his situation, it is far worse. Not only has his ex partner put caveats on his 4 properties, she has also accused him of sexual assault, domestic violence and even 'attempted murder'. He is now serving time in prison and he is not guilty!!!
He was making $4,000 a week in his business. He has lost everything. She is a vindictive piece of work. She sold his work van and bought herself a brand new car. She's also been claiming single mother's pension and family tax benefits for the past 10 years! I informed Centrelink about this fraud, but she has got away with it. Our solicitor informs us that because my brother 'never gave her any money' she had to claim Centrelink to buy her children food.
Police are not being thorough in their investigations and innocent people are locked up in prisons waiting for their turn to tell the truth. He has been on remand since March and it is now August and he has everything stripped from him - even his rights.
The moral of the story - thank your lucky stars that you're not locked up. It could be worse. At least you have the opportunity to start your life again. My brother is going to get 10 years jail time for crimes he didn't commit.
Sorry to hear the story of your brother. Yes, that sounds to be far more worse than my case if what you said are truth. I hope a good luck to your brother and finally he can get the fair. Can I ask a question please? As you said you "informed Centrelink about this fraud, but she has got away with it". How did you know the information she had got away with it? I also reported to Centrelink about the fraud through online that my ex hided the properties under her name, hided her marriage status and said he was renting somewhere like more than $500 per week to claim the benefits. I didn't know the details as she didn't tell me much but she has mentioned a bit of it previously. I hoped Centrelink could do some investigations however when I called the Centrelink they said they won't tell any progress about that. Thus I don't know whether they have done the investigation and what the status is. Anyway to know about that or I am not allowed to know? Thanks.
