Divorce - Affidavit most certainly untrue

    Going through divorce, both of us have submitted affidavit of means and my ex husband ( self employed ) is basically a load of lies. He has a reputable business that I worked in pre-separation and is stating he is earning 33K.. I have some of his old payslips and even some old bank statements to show he earned a lot more than that previously. Bank statements he submitted to solicitor have zero atm withdrawals which is questionable and clearly shows he is cash rich. Obviously I know all of this information cannot be proved and what I say is just hear-say as such. I am not looking for legal advise but wondering if he knew that I had paperwork could this be used as low hanging fruit to ensure he makes an offer outside of court.
    Just to state also, I am working full time, pay childminding fees myself and get very little maintenance. We were married when he became owner of the business and I worked there for 8 years. I am looking for a small settlement to perhaps help me buy a home, he has bought his own home a and I rent for €1100 per month. Has anyone any divorce stories that have some sort of positive outcome? I know a lot of men have been hard done by and I certainly don't want to take him to the cleaners but I do know I am entitled to a settlement.

    It's up to you to disprove/discredit this A.O.M.

    You will need to instruct your solicitor to chase this up. If he is caught submitting false information on a sworn and witnessed affidavit of means your solicitor should be dragging him over the coals.

    In my experience - he can lie his @ss off and absolutely nothing will happen to him even if you have tons of proof. Family courts are not like normal courts and tolerate a lot more 'bad behaviour'. Your only chance is if he is reasonable and chooses to do the right thing.

    For the love of god dont take legal advice from strangers on a forum. Seek the advice of your solicitor. Ignore previous experiences that others may have had. Family court is by FAR the most subjective. Statements like the below are not helpful so ignore them as best you can.
