Collusion

Hello all this is going to seem far fetched to many of you but humour me and assume I’m right

Im going through private family law proceedings.

My ex is Nigerian and the shift in proceedings to his favour indicate that everyone included in the process atp is colluding against me bc he’s bribed them. The last hearing, my Barrister, also a part time family court judge (Recorder) was so shocked at the behaviour of both the judge and my then solicitor that she wrote in her after hearing briefing that she was close to asking the judge to recuse himself due to certain comments and decisions he made. He backtracked when she challenged him which is why she didn’t.

She told me in no uncertain terms to change solicitors. I already had suspicions and a little proof that my solicitor was colluding with the other side (bribed). There’s nothing concrete I can use.

Relying on the professionals involved to all of a sudden develop some sort of integrity and do the right thing is a fail. Even so, my ex has them by the b@pls now if they’ve accepted a bribe and the person I know will ruin their lives and careers with it. Therefore they no all have a vested interest in protecting each other.

One of the issues is abduction to a non hague country.

What I need to do is prove unequivocally that the professionals involved are bias and colluding. How do I do this practically and legally (if consider hypothetically non legal as a discussion).

The agencies involved
Judge
Police
3 lawyers (his lawyer, my ex lawyer, a court lawyer)
family court adviser

To many of you this will seem far fetched and conspiracy theory like, pls don’t waste your energy on this post. I’m dealing with a covert abuser who gained access to over 400k last year due to the sale of a house we didn’t even know he owned. I know what I e experienced and am experiencing. I’m just pleading that if anyone has any HELPFUL ideas that eill
help me please share them.

Women’s aid and reunite are aware. I’m not looking for anymore referrals to agencies.

Thank you in advance

I can’t help you OP but when people have money anything is possible. Dealing with something myself and 💯 think that two solicitors are colluding to make things work better for one person. Could you go to your local MP. My story is so crazy that it could be a podcast.

I'm afraid I'm going to tell you that it's incredibly unlikely that all those people have accepted bribes. Think about it, they are all risking losing their careers and their reputations. £400K divided amongst several people is going to go nowhere in terms of making that worth their while. Your ex would need access to a few million pounds.

However, it might be worth looking into that mystery house that he sold. There has been recent publicity about a fraudulent practice where someone no-one has ever heard of pops out of the woodwork after somebody with assets dies, producing a will purporting to leave everything to them. Either they have pressurised the deceased into changing the will, or have forged it. It does sound a bit as if your ex might have done something like that.

He took a massive risk by offering a bribe to the judge, even if he'd offered them the entire 400k.

But he's managed to bribe the judge, the police, 3 lawyers and a family court advisor??

Is it worth hiring a financial private investigator, even if such a thing exists?

Thank you so much, this is the type of solution I’m looking for. I will research this.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. It is helpful when someone else understands. I too will actually be starting a podcast this week bc it’s clear that the expectation is that I’ll remain silent. Silence equals more vulnerability. Whilst I can’t discuss my case directly o will be raising many other adjacent points.

What's your AIBU OP?

Apologies, I’ve realised I may have put it in the ‘wrong’ thread? I’ve googled AIBU and I’m not sure I have a ‘am I being unreasonable’ take except perhaps maybe is what am I’m asking unreasonable
