work in progress blog, marital agreement made in duress


1. I received a bad deal in my divorce case. Trying to fix it. Sitting here, editing this blog, just dawn on me...........for the past 8 days, SA barrister and solicitor has been doing nothing but bombard me and my discharge solicitor with threats of law suit and complaints?


What are they complaining when SA has extort, blackmail and bully me and my discharge solicitor, by ordering me to hand over my shares, and resignation as director of company. Since being force to sign under duress the marital property settlement agreement, SA continued to exert intimidation through the justice system to preserve his bully on me. Then 8 days ago out of the blue, comes the demand letter dictating a date as to when I need to accept the remainder of the monies from the marital settlement property agreement. 
Letter after letter, the threats increasing and the demand becoming more aggressive, until the last one on Friday, when I came back into the office to find an e mail being forwarded as an after thought ......finally acknowledging I exist and contacting me directly.
The psychological intimidation is absurdly rude to the core. Cannot comprehend why SA had to use so much brute force......after all, SA is the abuser and the aggressor, had successfully done his bit to imprint in me, and I have acknowledge it, yet still not enough.....sigh.


I see, SA does not respect the justice system, and all the monies that belongs to me, he is using to pay "rouge" barrister who does not practice justice for purpose of law, rather practice justice for the purpose of keeping his bank in healthy balance. I often wonder, with every cents the barrister spend, if he do reflect where these cents come from? 


How was my marital property agreement made.


SA, through his "rouge" solicitor and my discharge "barrister" coup de grĂ¢ce my protection order with variation without my given consent, and as result, SA has access to come onto the property and breach the protection order against him to my 3 kids day in day out. Furthermore, SA gave the workers of the company permission to daily intimidate us by making snide remarks about me to my 3 kids. This traumatized the kids, and kids retaliated by ignoring these staff. This created vicious cycle, while SA applauded and encourage and reward the staff.


They would lock away the rubbish bin, disallowing us from using the rubbish bin. They took away kids toys, like skateboard and would not give them back. The staff lock the door the entrance where we normally use to access our house, that we cannot get out of our residence normal door. They barricade the door and lock us in and out, and the only access were to climb onto the balcony and open the door from the inside, the only means we got to get back into the house.


My only source of income the salary was stop, my credit card frozen. I have to pay my discharge barrister fee, and they keep engaging with petty demands.


The safety of my kids were compromised. I had to choose, between the safety of my kids and having a roof over our heads. I made the choice, safety of my 3 kids is paramount. 


Then hard reality confronts, how do I maintain my kids do not go hungry? The agreement that was put in front of me, I must agree and I cannot change anything on it. My request for equitable distribution were shunted and was told, if I do not abide, then there will be no settlement. I asked for access to my funds, until we can come to an agreement, that was denied. I have to do without, and by doing so, kids had to also do without.


SA, prolong the process, by going overseas, to continue with his predatory activities to Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, China, Europe. On one occasion, in desperation we had to call, and SA told his mother he is working and are in conference, and typical when we call, SA was at a brothel, as we heard Asian women swearing and calling out to be paid for services rendered. We were made to listen to how SA yelled back to these brothel women SA was with.


I was trying to provide routine for my 3 kids with a roof over our head and have food on the table. Kids have to for go extra curriculum like music lessons as I was not drawing any income. I had to work in ex change for roof over our heads. Kids also had to find work and while studying to supplement their own pocket monies. 


This is just tip of iceberg what we went through.......my every minute waking hours were dealing with SA barrister demand to sign and take what is offered, no valuation, and I have to agree to no maintenance claim, discharge of Protection Order,  amongst other things I must agree to.


I stomach turns to think what I had to sign away, all protest and question how is this possible to my discharge solicitor............it is absolute bully, no negotiation room at all, blackmail is added to this process, if I were to question the fairness, I was told, SA will delay the settlement and will reduce further the settlement amount offered.


What am I to do? I have to have a solicitor I am told, however it does not seem it has helped me at all.


Is there something I missed here? Is this not obvious duress?
