Hi, hope you can help.
Going to a first court appearance in May for my child (son, 18 months old) and property settlement. We were together for 6 years. I've yet to be granted Legal Aid so I may have to represent myself. How would it look to magistrate if my ex has used all of our savings approx $60k on legal fees, holidays, and a party lifestyle which I can prove and left me without anyway of covering bills when I was a stay-at-home mum but helped him start his business?
Would he be forced to find it ie- (take out a loan) even though it's gone? Hes going on a six-week holiday and is self-employed so it won't be paid hols either. I've been trying to find judgements where this has happened but struggle to navigate the database. He also said to me via text that he would rather spend every cent on a lawyer than give a cent to me.
Thanks
