ex moved four doors away aaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrggggghhhhhhhhhh

[bossmum41]

just been to court to fight to keep family home for me and two children, ex crying saying he needs a home for children but cant afford it !! he owns several properties . anyway i got family home and next day after court ex smuggly moves into his new home four doors away!
he says its good for the kids to be close to both of us , i think its unhealthy especially as we aren't on good terms, im so angry that he lied and tried to move myself and the children to a smaller house yet he had a bigger house all along four doors away. its not good for the kids and now all i want to do is move house.

Great news - I really hope that she's firm and decisive. Him moving four doors down could end up being less "aaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrggggghhhhhhhhhh" and more 'happy days'.

Finger's crossed for you.

If he had enough money to buy a house outright, but said he couldn't even afford a mortgage, he could have been deceiving the court to the tune of at least tens, possibly hundreds of thousands! That's big-time fraud, that is. Just because it's "only" the ex-wife he's trying to do down - not to mention his own children - doesn't stop it being a crime.

Jesus! Wtaf? To stand there and lie knowing that he had bought a house.

Perhaps he told himself it wasn't lying because he genuinely couldn't afford a mortgage because he'd just spent his spare cash on a house

Disclaimer: I am not a solicitor. I am a person who got divorced once. We had very simple finances, only one house, and neither of us lied on our Form E. It's a different planet.

OP, seriously follow this through to the bitter end!

Even if legal bills are high, you stand to be awarded a lot of money here. Almost certainly the house outright. And please, please tell the court about the properties in his step-dad's name!! That is FRAUD! - deliberate, serious fraud - as is of course his lying on the forms.

You would almost certainly get awarded cash from him as the other properties would have been considered in the settlement - if in his name, and you were married - they were part of your settlement!

This is of course on top of getting to wipe the smug grin off his face. He will either get a cracking fine or more probably sentenced. Jesus.

I spent a very therapeutic day recently reading High Court/Family Court hearings that they publish on divorces that are of significance to District Courts.

They only send the ultimate twats to prison if it doesn't impoverish the former spouse by doing so.

Usually, they just court order a mass redistribution of wealth.

Like I say, it was a very therapeutic day.

update.... solicitor on the case.
he has to disclose where he got the money to buy the house , from the sale of the flat he was living in apparently ,funny that as he said that his step dad owned the flats ??? why suddenly does he own the flats ??
the solicitor said she thinks he will be fined or will have to pay my court costs as i got most of the house anyway and the percentage he got was to pay his mum back for a loan that she got out to cover the costs of the building work we had done.

Sorry, probably inappropriate but your last post made me lol. He thought he was being so clever. Well done you for giving him a legal punch in the face.

;)

Good result then, well done! It's great when abusive men get the smackdown they deserve, and inspiring for other women as well.

oh.... no?

sorry, MN was being buggy and I only saw the thread title and nothing else
