Scandal Lachie Neale affair

[Underarm]

Not true. He works everyday. Training and recovery. Not sure how long or how many sessions a day.

They dont have gyms and football ovals in Perth?

Actually might explain alot.

 

[1970crow]

Of course she is i never said otherwise. Im not making excuses either way. But neales mistakes are pretty obvious here.

They weren’t.

 

[1970crow]

Which he wont get.

Mate of mine has it after about 3 years. Same kind of situation. Ex originally tried for sole custody. Made all sorts of claims to support her position. He started off with 2 days per week and eventually won equal rights. He was guilty of the same ‘crime’ as Neale.

I know there’s a strong thirst for revenge around here, but it’s not going to be anywhere near as bad for Lachie as most here are desperate for.

 

[Paul Medhurst]

Expect he’ll be applying for equal custody.

So I work in construction and literally every second colleague has been through family court in some way.

What will happen is this - her moving back to Perth means nothing, she will claim it’s for familial support and that will be ticked off as fine while they go through court.

Court will bounce back and forth, she can ask for extension after extension to seek legal advice and she will. As the youngest has only just turned 1, he will still be breastfeeding to some degree and flying back and forth while court unfolds won’t be an option. It is very likely this will then extend to the 4 year old.

Court will take upwards of a year to even get started, at which point the kids will have started a life for themselves in Perth and it will be deemed in the children’s best interest to allow that to continue unimpeded. Any move or even time spent in Brisbane will be completely off the cards.

Should Lachie move back to Perth, at this point it will be argued that the kids are even further entrenched in their routines, and the absolute best he can hope for is every second weekend.

I’d also like to note how absolutely traumatising and emotionally debilitating this is to go through. Even though they brought it on themselves, look at the playing careers of Stringer, Carey, Rohan post shit hitting the fan in their personal lives. It’s hard enough to just rock up and do the absolute bare minimum at your job. Applying the commitment necessary to be an elite athlete is all but impossible with this going on.

A poster said he works one day a week. I stated that he doesn't. That's got nothing to do with what you're saying. And for the record no they don't have football ovals and gyms jn perth. People train in sand castles, water slides, and trampolines. Wearing a suit and tie.

Rules changed since Covid.

Disagree. I feel neale has no choice but to focus on footy and he's still a good professional. If nothing else.

So you disagree that that’s how court will unfold, or you disagree that delivering as an elite athlete while also fighting to be a part of your children’s lives is impossible?

Right about the courts. Wrong about him performing as an athlete. I don't think he'll play bad as a result. Footy will probably be a good escape for him.

 

[bresker]

I have 60/40 split with my ex, even though the split was acrimonious, we decided to put the kids first.

It's amazing what can be achieved if you choose to be adults.

 

[sideswipe]

Interesting... you could be right - another take....

Note what I am going to say is hearsay and ‘talk’…

My mate, a lawyer with two years of experience, believes that the buzz at his firm is all about how Jules's actions are very well coordinated, restrained and perfectly timed.

He believes that Jules currently has a team of lawyers drafting her online statements and actions to strengthen her legal case.

Trying to highlight her hurt and pain regarding the ‘assumed’ allegations – saying minimal / as little as possible. Avoiding a dogfight about what ‘exactly happened’ and keep Jules's reputation clear.

Lachie is being pressured to fold and pay up. The club wants this sorted quickly, avoiding media attention and ensuring it doesn't affect his performance.

My mate is even talking about a possible 50% to 75% of Lachie’s assets. He believes they will emphasise that Jules was consistently loyal to the relationship, dedicated all of her time to the kids/family, went through stress/pain during the rounds of IVF, and transformed her life for Lachie and family, including her career, her lifestyle and her location. Not to mention the stress and mental pain she endured and will endure.

He reckons 75% is very much on the table, given the children and how her whole life and world will need to change moving forward rather then a 50% deal / offer from Lachie.

Note – If this is true… Go Jules take him to the cleaners

Looking forward to your feedback – but this could be all talk…

Tell your mate he needs to take a time machine back from pre-1975 or that he should have studied harder at law school.

No fault divorces have been in place in Australia longer than color TV.

Its very unlikely. Family courts for all their advances still tend to bias majority custody towards the majority caregiver and most of the time the woman, particularly when the children are young. Unless there are other safety factors in regards to her mental health etc that lachie can use to rebut that he is highly unlikely to get 50/50, getting 25 % at best is his likely outcome.

Rightio. I’ll meet you back here after round 24 to discuss.

You need to learn to spell and maybe reread my post...

I spoke about many factors... The actual cheating was never my primary point…

 

[spenze]

Maybe? Pretty sure good husband is well out of the question.

As for good parent, part of being a good parent surely also involves not treating your children's mother like dirt, and having zero regard for your family dynamic so that you can get off with her best friend.

Very intrigued to hear what the other side of this story could be that would excuse that kind of behaviour, and why some people are so eager to try and justify it. You honestly believe they were all having threesomes together?

Maybe just wait, all I am saying. Most folk were on Demis side until the facts came out.

I also know a few people whose relationship ended due to cheating and they turned out to be great parents.

But you do you, be reactionary, jump on the bandwagon and light a torch because someone you don't know might not have lived up to the standards you set for others...kinda a bit Christian

 

[chippie]

Wait for the family law situation to unfold. You will see. We got a small preview by the fact she immediately moved back to WA with the kids. They have a life and a routine in Brisbane, not to mention that is where their father must live for his work. Lachie could have moved out of the family home and Jules stayed there. Moving back to WA was out of spite. Did she have to make a calculated response to the media? Did she have to make those public comments on those posts? All very calculated. Those poor kids.

BS. She moved herself and her kids to WA to get support from her family clearly. You think she should be keeping them in Brisbane for the support she got and is likely to get from her cheating husband and cheating best friend? If Lachie doesn’t have much to do with his kids in the near future that is completely on him and quite frankly the kids would be better off without him until he gets his shit together and somehow earns some respect back from his family

You are too wise for this thread my friend.

Neale is the ultimate professional. It will likely make him focus even more on his footy.

 

[WillHayward]

If Lachie does want to be a part of the kids life in the next couple of years and calls time on Brisbane.

I don't see the Eagles or Freo touching him.

Does anyone think he would get picked up by Freo or WC ?

Laughable post.

He's a ****ing gun and WC and Eagles would take him in a heartbeat.

Just laughable stuff

As someone who has been through court...

No parent has any right to deny the other access. If the children are currently established in QLD then he can apply for court orders requiring the children be returned to QLD. He can also take the children for himself and be the person to deny access illegally. There's no court order preventing either parent taking the kids.


The rest is on the money for sure. Men have to be proactive, loaded with cash, and down to fight.

I had everything silly allegation you can think of thrown at me after I caught my ex cheating and I ended up with 50% custody at the recommendation of a forensic psychologist.

It's not easy or cheap but it's possible. And you can see why so many men kill themselves.

WC AND Eagles??? Might be a stiff bidding war that one

Well that's great, and I'm sure in time Lachie can learn from his mistakes and also turn out to be a great parent, but as of right now he's just torn apart his family with some pretty selfish actions and may have some work to do to get there.

There's no bandwagon or torch, it's just that for most people who aren't inflicted with contrarianism, behaviour like this is quite obviously condemned for how destructive and hurtful it can be. Amazes me how many are willing to turn a blind eye to it to instead strangely try and justify it, or purely to get some shots in at the victims of the situation.

When I posted a link to this video here on Friday, the last comment was from years ago. No longer the case. Was it one of you guys?

It’s extremely costly and I’d imagine there’d be a lot of people satisfied with the couple of days per week. He wasn’t and he eventually got there. Agree it’s rare, but Neale is the type who will be high earning and time flexible that will be a good candidate. Assuming he goes after it, which if acrimonious, he probably will.

It’s perfectly healthy to be so invested in the personal lives of people you see on the TV or follow on insta. The reality is that this stuff is going on all the time and marriages break down constantly. There’s almost always more to it, I for one think it’s only fair that we await Lachie’s Insta update before making final judgement on the parental access and asset division.
