| 753780 | 2009-03-06 06:08:00 | Well, after 9 months of being apart and enduring all sorts of emotional shizza, me and the ex have finally resolved our financial issues. We attended a Settlement Conderence on Monday (for those who don't know, it's a meeting between the parties in front of a Family Court judge to see if we could come to an arrangement before having to go to an actual Hearing, or trial). Any agreement made is final. We settled, and I got about a third of what I was after, being just $53 grand instead of the $132K I was realistically due. The reason I settled for such a low figure was that I'd have to wait probably another 6 months before an actual hearing, and then if she appealed maybe 1 or even 2 years after that before I got any cash. And even then the outcome was never guaranteed; in other words I could have received as little as 10K. Basically it's all good now that it's over. I'm still suffering the affects of the emotional breakup, unlike the Witch who's happily paid me off to get out of her life. I actually offered her to pay me out 50K about a year ago to move out of her life, but instead she's ended up paying far more. The irony of it all is... although I've received 80K less than I wanted and was legally entitled to, it cost her roughly 80K out of her pocket to pay me the 53K! My legal expenses were nearly zilch because of my low earnings - legal aid paid most of it, but she had to fork out my 53K, + 20K legal costs, + 10K in putting all the property into a Trust which was to try and defeat my claim on the home etc. The stupid bimbo has given me hell and run me down over the last year, so now that I'm 53K better off it's a great relief and now she can go and... well whatever she wants, but knowing that she's paid through her backside for the pleasure. Meantime, I'm going to buy myself a nice modern Jag car, take a trip with my brother to visit my grandaughter and others in Melbourne, set myself up in a nice rented flat here in Napier, and get back to work properly in a decent environment. Oh, and in case anyone wondered, I'm not going to rent the best looking hooker in town for a few nights - I'm already becoming friendly with a nice local hottie. So in case Sandra reads this - here's one in your eye! :p Leecher. |

| 753782 | 2009-03-06 09:11:00 | So if your a man with a mortage free house and a superfund saved up for your retirement as everyone tells you that is what you should do to look after yourself in your old age.:thumbs: How do you protect those things and ALL YOUR STUFF YOU HAVE BOUGHT BEFORE THE RELATIONSHIP WITH HER. I dont want MY STUFF taken from me after all MY HARDWORK AND SAVING it's not her stuff it's mine after all,she did nothing for it after all. Or do you just have the 2/3 year?(whatever the legally safe period before they can claim all your stuff) relationships and dont live together and then break up and get into a new relationship with someone else every 2/3 years or whatever the safe legall time period is? Or just stick to picking someone up from a club/pub/street once in a while.:lol: Or dont bother with relationships and just do other stuff instead,travel overseas,drinking,partying,gaming,join a club,start a hobby or whatever!!! I dont wont everthing I have worked hard for over the years to be taken from me from some leecher who may have been planning this all along.Who does of course.:yuck: And then you have to start all over again,and if you are in bad health or you loose your job or you are now financially unable to recover from it then what are you supposed to do,get a benefit or something?And be poor and with no house and worse off then before?:horrified |

Unless there are very good reasons (such as children, or significant non-financial contributions to the union) , the property is usually divided according to what each party brought to the union to begin with. After 10 years though, all bets are (usually) off and a 50/50 split is par for the course. |

| 753784 | 2009-03-06 09:29:00 | Man thats so true, slave your guts out, pay off mortgage save for retirement and the cow up and leaves you for someone else and takes half. It ain't fair, no wonder guys go nuts and shoot their exes. Its not just the fact they leave but the fact they shack up with someone else nano seconds after they leave. I have been married 12 years, before that I was shacked up for a long time but matrimonial law act didn't apply. Everything so far so good, (I think) what worries me is when you hear of so and so have split and you always thought they were a couple with a marriage made in heaven. I suppose Clayton lawyer man is going to rip my post up. |

So if your a man your screwed because your a man and the system looks after women and not men 95% of the time that is!!! |
