Thank you.
Disclosing funds earned since separation in personal accounts won't be the issue here I believe.
What will be is whether the money in these accounts go into asset pool to be split or each person just keeps their own earned salaries

That is our real question.

My thoughts are that post-separation earnings earned after the case assessment conference will not form part of the shared pool, it will only affect how the assets in the shared pool is distributed. Assets between separation and the case assessment conference may form part of the shared pool, however, my understanding is that this will determined on a case by case basis to see if it is related to any pre-separation assets.

Again, as with all family law matters, it is only a rule of thumb and is what generally happens.

The best thing is to get your own legal advice.
