Help! My ex is spending all the money and I'm worried there won't be enough left for me at property settlement. Safeguarding your property pool during your divorce.

Are you going through a divorce and are worried about your ex spending/hiding all the money before the property settlement is sorted? In this episode we look into various scenarios of how your ex may be spending big to deplete the property pool and what can be done about it.

Learn about the concept of "wastage" in the family law world and how the family court can view it. Discover what the family court has done in the past if wastage has been determined. If you are worried, this episode will give you some practical tips on how you can protect yourself or calm yourself. Listen now to and be proactive in your divorce or de facto separation. Don't let your property pool become a property puddle before financial settlement occurs. We also touch on disclosure and a previous full court ruling on someone who wasn't playing fair.
