Hi,
Any advice would be hugely appreciated.
I am struggling to get my wife to sign divorce papers.
We met as students (she was a foreign student studying in Brisbane) and dated for a year or so then married for 2 years, however have been now separated for over 4 years already.
I previously tried divorce application, however she refused to sign-stating I need to help here to pay off a private loan she took out at the time of our wedding to pay for "honeymoon" and other things.
The original loan amount of about $45,000
We have very little accumulated assets. No House, one cheap run about car maybe worth $3,000-4,000, bugger all furniture (mostly pre-second hand)and white goods/ electrical and hand me downs.
I originally was happy to settle the money and she would sign the papers, however now she knows I have a child and am in a happy relationship she is dragging it on and adding "interest" to the original agreed amount.
Now I feel she is just trying to use me as she knows I have more money since we have separated (new job etc)
I have recently filed for a new Application for Divorce and am trying to convince her that we need to follow the Family Law system, however she wont budge and believes she can hold me ransom.
I'm blown away by her audacity as I basically supported her the whole time she was studying and through application for temporary residency etc.
