Subject: Cheating ex
Posted By Soldheim on 20-12-2009
I am seeking some advice. The ex wife constantly failed to supply finincial information and ignoring court orders. We agreed a settlement before the final hearing but based on the little information she provided. It would have been interesting in court as I could prove purjury as she said a particular bank account had been closed though I had evidence it was still open a year later. I also had evidence that she had taken some money and I believe there to be more missing. The financials she did disclose just didn't make sence to anyone. The expendature just didn't match the stated income.
She has bought a house and I can see how she could possibly have afforded it. The size of the mortgage would cripple most people even at the low interest rates around. Now I find out she is taking a year off work to take a course for which she will have to pay thousands.
I know the house is in her name only and how much she paid for it and a mortgage interest has been registered but how can I find out how much it is for? Also, how do I reopen the financials and seek proper disclosure of the facts she kept trying not to disclose.

Certainly if evidence comes to light of non disclosure of a substantial amount at the time of the settlement you can apply for leave to appeal and have the order set aside. However, you need to be sure of the evidence and how to present it. There is quite a bit of law involved and invariably the unsuccessful party is ordered to pay the other sides costs so even if you self represent it could be a false economy should you end up with a huge bill.
If you want to self represent I would suggest it would be worth paying for a barristers opinion before embarking on an application. Normally the rules prevent direct access to family barristers but not when seeking an opinion about an appeal.
