Just wondering if anyone has experience of this - split in 2017 I was thrown out with a dependent child refuge in local area was full so was referred to homeless services for a year then social housing. He filed I responded asking for financial disclosure he withdrew divorce petition. Was not entitled to legal aid due to no police involvement and could not afford at that time to file my own petition and fight for financials.
Now the law changes mean I am more than likely entitled to legal aid (emotional/financial abuse) awaiting decision. Ex changed the locks on marital home (rented) within days of kicking us out, I’ve had no items from home - white goods electrical furniture etc - he then moved someone in within days.
Also to add he has profited and sold assets running into the thousands which will be proven in court bank by bank statements etc. He really does think that I am unable to claim legal aid so cannot divorce but I am getting everything ready to fight for anything I am entitled too.
So my question is will I be allocated a share of household items on basis I never had anything and also the assets he has sold and profited from I also know he has spent the money - if I was awarded my share what would the court do if he has spent the funds allocated to me? Hope this makes sense I am new here - married 8 years (12 if including seperation too) co habit prior to marriage 8 years - I have one child 16 in full time education thanks
