nope. amicable divorce, neither of us have ever been near lawyers and arranged our own deal, which the divorce court was happy with. i send money to an account for my boy each month and contribute to school fees etc.

in case it goes tits up in the future I have already arranged my finances such that most of my assets are offshore and what i do have in Aus is negatively geared so I am not making any money at all.

Aussie departments have no right to discover my o/s earnings or savings.

you might be facing a similar situation.

(on a personal note, i found that the separation process was a case of everyone, agencies, friends, officials were all doing their best to throw a spanner in the works and cause an argument, no one could understand the concept of an amicable divorce.....

no disrespect William - but the few lawyers, land conveyancers that we had to deal with we blood sucking scum.

But at the end of the day its all about "whats best for the child" - I think myself and my xwife were the only ppl that remembered that!
Dont be to sure about aussie departments having no rights about overseas investments and bank accounts.
The assetts test section on most centerlink forms ask about assets and penalities for telling porkie pies
