Item of mine sold by ex wife

rob37700

Hi,
Not sure this is the correct place...

Been separated from my wife for 9 months and find out she has sold the hot tub i bought.
Never was i asked and she refuses to share the money with me.

I have proof that i bought it but shes saying it was for the family, which is try but she can't just sell it???

Should it be an open and shut case in the small claims court under the sale of goods act section 12?

Cheers

The small claim court is the wrong arena for these disputes. You need to see a divorce lawyer.

im not planning on divorcing until the 2 years of separation is up, ex wife shouldn't have been put, estranged is correct

Same principle applies. This is due to a marital dispute and needs to be sorted out either between yourselves informally or via a long term settlement. The small claim system will either reject the claim or if it gets to court the judge will bounce it out as not in their jurisdiction.

Makes no difference.

You should draw up a division of assets agreement immediately.

And it's nothing to do with consumer rights. The marital bust-up board is somewhere else.

I suggest you contact your wife and ask for a meeting, where both of you draw up a list of household items and who has what, I would then suggest you remove your items to your new abode or into storage.

Yes, I did. I'm clarifying for you that your doubts were well-founded.

I can't understand why the OP and his wife are estranged. He seems such a calm and tolerant person.
