Can Your Ex Make Financial Claims After Divorce? Understanding Your Rights and Protecting Your Future 

Think your divorce means you're financially free from your ex? Think again. In this eye-opening episode, we reveal the surprising 12-month window after divorce where your former spouse can still make claims against your assets – and the exceptions that could extend this timeframe indefinitely.

We'll explore what factors Australian courts actually consider when assessing these claims, share real-world scenarios where ex-spouses have successfully pursued money years after divorce, and provide practical strategies to protect your hard-earned assets.
