Bank accounts being drained
Selling off property
Bills not being paid (eg mortgages, loans, credit cards)
Lack of access to financial resources; or
Lack of knowledge about current financial position
When it comes time to finalize how you are going to divide your assets (referred to as a financial or property settlement), it is what is remaining that is shared. So, if money is moved, spent or wasted, what is left over is what can be divided in that settlement. There is no opportunity…
