Family separation

Family separation

Hi l,m new to this forum and nervous. About a month ago my wife of 25 years up and left me with 4 days warning leaving me $ 40 a few small household items and and old car barely reliable. She took the nice car we jointly owned and paid for. She then got a family violence order with a load of untrue claims of domestic violence etc. It resulted in a sucide attempt from me as l have long suffered depression and anxiety. She refuses to communicate and left in a financial mess.

@Former-Member You will never forget, but being there for your kids when they need you, you will always remember that too.

Re: Family separation

I am still having a hard time getting anyone to help me with a separation agreement. We have two cars one was my pride and joy an immaculate Ford XR6 my dream car we bought near new but she claims she owned it because it was put in her name for cheap rego with her health care card. I have an old Holden same for cheap rego but it's has major issues and can't be driven far stopping me doing a lot of things. I believe both cats should be sold and proceeds devided but she won't speak to anyone or agree to mediations. No lawer wants to help me.

Re: Family separation

Thanks @Former-Member . The next issue is Tuesdays court hearing where there are two intervention orders against me one from. My wife and one from my daughter. I also have an order against my wife because ( advised to by police) she was spending all of the money in joint bank accounts without my knowledge. Also has control of car which is a joint asset. I have one against my daughter due to her harassing me after the split so the whole thing is stressing me out. Hopefully l don't crash again

Re: Family separation

It can be hard to implement and maintain strategies to avoid crashing during these times. Do you have a friend or family member that can attend court with you? @Former-Member

Re: Family separation

@Former-Member No l don't have any family that even speaks to me. I have applied to appear via video link but it's not certain yet. I have a lawyer organised. The order with my wife was adjourned from October because she didn't turn up.
