Hi All.

I am trying to reach a financial settlement with my wife without involving expensive lawyers. We are exchanging financial documents. On my bank statements are payments to my new/current girlfriend for the purchase of my flight and accommodation by her for a holiday we went on together. I do not want to disclose the name of my now girlfriend to my wife. My wife has a history of alcohol abuse and can be violent so I would prefer to not take the risk. My wife is not content with bank statements where the name of the beneficiary is redacted. Is the a standard approach for such situations, that provide assurance to my wife that the money was genuinely spent and not suspicious in nature? I understand that I do not have to share the information in a private negotiation and would typically only need to if it went to court. However, would the court not allow my girlfriend's name to remain anonymous? Or is there a way to get an independent 3rd party to provide assurance that the money transfers were genuine and reasonable (I can supply flights, accommodation receipts, etc.).

Any and all help and advice appreciated.
