I don’t trust my husband. He controls all the finances and I am concerned that he may try to transfer money and property away.

If you are aware of your husband taking such steps or have genuine and reasonable fears, an emergency application can be made to the Court to stop your husband dealing with some or all of his assets until the finances have been resolved by agreement or Court Order.

You can get immediate protection from the Court who may be prepared to make an order freezing some or all of your husband’s assets without him being notified of your application or being present at the first Court Hearing. The Court has power to make such an order even if you do not have an interest in the asset or where the asset is situated abroad.
