STBXH application for off shore bank account

I believe my STBXH has made an application to set up an off shore bank account to prevent me 'getting at his money' - is there anything I can do about this? An injunction perhaps? Any suggestions appreciated!

Assuming you've not dealt with the finances for divorce yet, what stage are you at?

He will be obliged to disclose all assets...including ones offshore like this. He may, like a lot of people do, lie about it however and you will need to point this out in court.

Assuming you have a decent solicitor who is prepared to do the legwork on this they'll point this out - although I have noticed that a lot of otherwise decent family law solicitors lack knowledge in contract law which can cause problems.

My other half is a McKenzie Friend (as well as a professional debt collector and paralegal) and she assists at finance hearings all the time - she's always seeing people hiding money, property and other assets.
