READER REPORT: My abusive ex wants half of everything I have123rf.com She finally left her abusive partner, now he is trying to take half of everything. His legal aid lawyer tells him that he is entitled to half of everything, despite not contributing a cent to the relationship. I'm aware that the Property (Relationship) Act is being reviewed but I expect that it will take a considerable amount of time before we see any changes implemented. The act states that relationship property should be divided equally between the parties. My ex was unemployed and owned a old car, a small caravan and a section in Feilding .
