Just send the papers back to the courts and tell them you're Irish. I'm sure it will all make sense to them then

I had a similar situation when I divorced my first husband. I didn't want anything except out so signed a statutory declaration witnessed by my lawyer saying that I had had independent legal advice and the settlement my ex and I agreed on was what I really wanted.

Tell your wife to either accept it or you'll sue her for half of everything she owns.

sounds like your ex's lawyer is looking to earn some extra cash by this going to court. If no one disagrees then he/she will not earn as much

Ok, let the courts divide the assets all fair and nice like and then sell it all back to her for $1. If there's money involved give it to her as a birthday/Christmas/anniversary/piss off and die gift.

Has your ex applied for the property settlement through the Family Court or the Federal Magistrates Court?

Also, do you know if this if a 'Financial Agreement' or 'Consent Orders'?

In most cases, you will need to have a solicitor sign to say that they've explained to you the ramifications of what you're signing. However, there are always exceptions to the 'rule', so it depends on a few things.

If this is the path she has chosen, then suggest to her that she pays for you to see an independent solicitor (it can't be her own solicitor) to explain the crap to you (even though I realised that you understand it) ... and perhaps pays for your time to do it?!! :sneaky: ;)

You can always ring/email me if you want some help (general advice from one who understands the system, not legal advice :p).

This link, Legal Aid will give you a better understanding of the situation, however do remember that it is only an outline, not the be all to end all as there are other things which give you options.
