I opened a bank account about 18 months ago, which I kept hidden from my stbx. Reason being he is very controlling about money, and I earn a very low salary. I followed mumsnet advice by getting little bits of cash back; selling (my stuff) on Ebay; banking any birthday money given to me by my family, etc.
I've ended up with just over £2,000. I did it really because I was worried that when we finally split (it's been on the cards for a long time) I would be left with nothing until the divorce settlement was finalised.
We have now separated and I've instructed a solicitor. I see that I'm supposed to disclose all bank accounts - I know that stbx will think that I've been stealing from the joint account as regards the cash back... do I really need to disclose an account with such small amount of money?
Thanks - all advice welcomed!
