*** WARNING - this chapter and the following chapter cover issues relating to dostic violence.These thes will continue throughout the balance of the story.Please be careful when reading this material ***
Thursday, continued ...
[Anna is still typing her affidavit]
Lu Jinhu, also engaged in economic abuse.Again, like the dostic violence that he engaged in, if I sat and detailed every incident that I can recall I would likely add a further 30 or 40 pages to this affidavit.Despite his family owning, what I now know is a prosperous company in Country X; his family provide him with financial support for living expenses and regular trips back to Country X, Lu Jinhu refused to contribute to our joint life.
I was wholly responsible for paying all bills, providing our accommodation, feeding us, purchasing items we needed.He refused to pay.To secure our apartnt, while I had so small savings, my family had to loan us the additional amounts required for the bank to give a mortgage.Further, while I drive a 8 year old vehicle, he convinced to purchase in his na a $80,000 vehicle, but with the finance solely in my na less than 3 months ago.
In normal de facto relationship it would be expected that couples use their joint resources to support themselves and their relationship.This did not happen in out relationship.Lu Jinhu, despite his family's financial support, failed to make any contributions financially.He deed this my sole responsibility.
Lu Jinhu, also failed to make contributions of a non-financial nature.While he studied for part of our relationship he never worked in Australia, to my knowledge.Normal tasks associated with running and managing a ho, were tasks he deed beneath him, as they were "won's" work as he called it.He claid he would be shad culturally if he did any of them and demand that I undertake those tasks.I have found out from my husband that this claim of it being against culture is in fact a lie.In modern relationships in Country X, it is quite common that household tasks are shared, as is the economic support of the relationship.
The final and most egregious example of his economic abuse is the orders that this application is asking the court to vacate.
Attached to this affidavit, is a true copy of the orders made by the court.As an officer of the court I confirm my first knowledge of any orders being made in this matter was on the Tuesday prior to this affidavit being sworn.Lu Jinhu admitted to , outside the Civil Administration Bureau that he had done everything to ensure that all assets gained during our relationship were in his na, but I was left with the debt.He said that there was nothing I could do about it.
It was only on the Thursday prior to the swearing of this affidavit that I could determine what he had done.
Due to issues for the Australian Subsidiary of my husband's company Hou Enterprises, I was asked to aid my employers in having my husband sign various docunts they needed to deal with the matter.While undertaking this work, in my husband's company's corporate offices in City T I received an email from my legal assistant Jodie Hughes.She advised of the existence of these orders, and comnted that the signature on the docunts was not my signature.As she has seen sign my signature on multiple occasions over the last 3 years, she has been my assistant, she has enough expertise to say if sothing is my signature or not [Note – ALFRED we will need an affidavit from Jodie on this point, maybe soone else in the office as well?].
As soon as I received the scanned and emailed copy of the orders, I knew that I had not signed these docunts.The postal address was an address I never used, and the email attributed to , was an email address that I have never had.The only email addresses I have had are a will obtain an email address through my husband's company in the near future.
While I do not know specifics, I would guess as the orders were sent to a wrong postal address they were returned to the court, and soone in the court after reviewing the file, connected that I was a lawyer employed by ANX Lawyers and forwarded a copy of the orders to there.
As soon as I beca aware of orders being illegally issued, I imdiately contacted a fellow lawyer at ANX Lawyers, who is acting for in this matter and instructed them to take all necessary steps to apply to have the court vacate the orders and make orders terminating the financial relationship in its place.
Prior to verbalising the ending of our relationship to Lu Jinhu, and from the ti of a chance eting with my husband Hou Yi at my place of employnt 6 months ago I had been questioning my relationship with Lu Jinhu.My husband did not force anything on .I had in this ti been communicating with my husband through instant chat sites, as I did not want Lu Jinhu to find out about it.My husband constantly said to , that what I did regarding my relationship with Lu Jinhu had to be my decision alone.He said that he would support any decision that I would make.
