I wrote this earlier in another section but I got no replies.
My mother is going through a divorce. She started over 5 years ago.
When she filled the affidait of means back then, she did not declare her savings book.
She now needs to fill another affidait of means. An updated one. She now wants to declare it. She has a guilty conscience and she is talking about going to court and swearing on the Bible and she doesn't want to lie.
Of course I am holy and if it was me having to swear on the Bible I would tell the truth but on matters savings, I don't know. I think maybe she filled 5 years ago and didn't mention it and she was willing to not declare back then - why the morals now? Surely whatever little she has everyone will be coming after it - her husband who is and alcoholic and the solicitor too will want his cut of it.
What do you guys think?
She didn't declare it then, why now?
Also she doesn't want her ex knowing she has some savings. So she said that she wants to declare her savings account but she can take the money out from it too so it's not in the account and it won't show.
I explained that they will want a statement and it will still show.
Also that is still deceiving but in another way.
Also she's an OAP and she doesn't have the appitude for this any more and needs me to do all the work for the affidavit of means for her and honestly I am sick of this.
