Also live in Australia for work.
Every Australian with money keeps telling me 'just set up a trust bro' but this looks like you can't touch your own money for a long time.
Best to move your money offshore, don't think it'll matter if it's money you had prior to divorce but I'd still still move it offshore or into an investment vehicle offshore that cannot be traced by any forensic accounting and let that 500k build. My way is the masculine way, it doesn't rely on government.
You will ultimately still get raped but my way you have an exit strategy. After living with her for 5-10 years you will have made a lot of money, assets. All the sacrifice you made to save the money will be punished by giving everyone else the fruits of your labor. I personally would quietly siphon off excess into something fungible like bitcoin/gold bought with cash.
In Australia they will still take your super annuation which is like a 401k or Canadian RRSP but you just have to write that off. You can't access it anyway and probably never will be able to in the future.
Marriage is really a total fucking war for a man. If you aren't prepped with a long term plan you will get reked. Nobody is on your side. Be ready at all times for frivorce.
