Family law in Australia - is it true that a woman can claim most of the husband's/partner's money after separation?

Well, tell that to a mate of mine who got kicked of his own house by his missus, was escorted off his own property by the police, had a police restraining order put on him etc etc. It was only when the matter went to court and his lawyer produced his little book of rental details that the whole procedure was reversed. She had to leave and allow him possession of his own property, didn't get squat for herself. Moral of the story, always keep records no matter how much they say they love you and get a good lawyer and not a loud mouthpiece who thinks they are a good lawyer. The legal system has many grey areas to take advantage of, you just have to find the right person who will do that for you.
