ANCILLARY RELIEF APPLICATIONS

The new Regulations and the exacting time-schedules imposed by some District Judges frequently impose a heavy burden on the Family Law Department and there is the danger of some important detail escaping the attention of the most careful and fastidious practitioner.

Those reams of bank statements don’t lie and they can often upset the most devious of plans to cheat a former spouse out of his or her proper entitlement.

What of the Husband who, on the face of it, has put large sums of money into the joint account but who has then, systematically, ‘milked’ it using ATM machines? A careful study of the bank statements and the further information which can be provided by the bank can identify which of the parties’ cards was used for every such transaction. A schedule of credits and withdrawals can then be prepared which will reveal the true picture.

What of the Wife whose use of Credit Cards in department stores and other areas has placed an impossible burden on the family purse? Detailed examination of statements can provide the arguments to reduce her apparent entitlement.

The setting up of a number of accounts and moving monies from one to another can often create confusion. If the trail, and the reason for it, can be explained, it can make a world of difference.

District Judges are renowned for their ‘broad-brush’ approach, but if a simple précis of valid arguments can be produced, supported by paperwork to back it up, the story could be different.
