He’s disposing of all the money

Hey all, so got the x’s form E and he’s made large payments to his family members in the last couple of months.
obviously I will raise these points but how many have been successful with this kind of thing please?
hes also not attached documents like his business accounts and lied his way through the whole form 🤦🏼‍♀️
it’s so frustrating when I have been so honest with mine.
thanks for taking the time to read this. I guess I’m just after some reassurance really.

It's not going to go well for him in court OP.

Stand your ground.

Thank you x although everyone tells me that I just can’t help but think he will come out on top and laughing at me x

Is he writing things in messages to you about him being annoyed? Keep everything as evidence.

Also go to the CMS for maintenance.

no he knows I’ve got a lot of stuff on him with messages and doorbell footage so now he acts the victim in messages x

I’m sorry you’re going through all of this - it sounds very similar to where I am! First hearing in 2 weeks. He’s omitted so much, including one bank account and the fact that he’s lived with his girlfriend for over a year. He hasn’t listed his assets and is fighting my list. He doesn’t seem to understand that you can’t just opt out of questions in a court document. I’m told that he will be laughed out of court but as he lives overseas, I’m very nervous.

Anyway, we’ve done our bit: now all we can do is hope the process works. Good luck!

If nothing else you could get him for it looking like a tax dodge, you're not supposed to gift people more than 3k in a year.

CatalinaLoo · 15/11/2024 22:35

I know it might not seem like it, but this is a good thing as your solicitor and the judge will see this obvious attempt to hide money and it will go against him. It won’t end well for him. Try not to worry.

I think you are thinking of the IHT rule that allows 'small' gifts to be left out of an estate when considering what inheritance tax is due.

Anyone can gift anyone whatever sum of money they want.

@Peppersalty I'm fine now, its seven years since the split and divorce was finalised 2 1/2 years ago. I had a good legal team and the Judge didn't take any nonsense from ex.

Yours sounds appalling too. If there are significant assets, you may need to engage a forensic accountant, but I'm sure your solicitor is aware of that.

Try to look after yourself. He's after destroying you, so you need to develop a way of coping with the onslaught.

I had some life coaching as I was going through the initial separation. It helped me work out how I wanted to live my life post marriage, enabling me to have a goal to aim towards when things got rough. It really helped me focus on keeping it together.

Afterwards, I had help from a Women's Aid group to unpick the abuse and learn about building better boundaries and relationships. I am still single and have no desire to change that. I am happy and enjoy my life now. I hope you can find strength to get through this. It will be OK. Hang in there.

He was dragged out of the house by 8 police officers March 2023 and I have text message and ring doorbell footage of everything he’s done x

Show your solicitor.

Hiya

I agree that you need a forensic accountant, this is exactly the kind of thing that they deal with.

Gettingbysomehow · 18/11/2024 14:14

I havd a feeling that distributing money to family .emers is considered money laundering which is a serious crime. Id speak to your solicitor about that.
