Hello,
STBX DH and I are currently at the financial stages of divorce.
Just before we split, we took out a loan on top of the mortgage for 15k to build an extension for our disabled DS.
Soon after we separated this money disappeared, he claims it was owed to a friend a he needed to pay it back, said friend has confirmed this although I was unaware of any money owed. It was withdrawn in 3 lumps of cash from the bank and thats where the paper trail ends, I suspect he has someone looking after it until the divorce is finalised. :( My solicitor has said I'm unlikely to see it again.
In the meantime I am looking at paying at least half that money back as I hope to remain in the house, there is a mortgage of 125k and its worth 135K, the loan has bumped up the payments to a level I cannot afford, hes still paying it instead of maintenance atm, I am worring myself sick over the whole thing.
I have 2 disabled DS's and 1 DD am on income support, he has been very manipulative and slippery throughout the whole thing and wants me to have as little as possible ( I asked for the divorce)
Can he really get away with hiding that money?
