A farmer’s estranged wife has asked a court to freeze his assets. Her solicitor told the judge that the farmer sold his herd without first informing her. Her lawyers describe the sale as the dissipation of marital assets. The requested order would place restrictions on his ability to move or dispose of his remaining property. The report does not state the value of the herd or the amount of assets involved. It also does not say whether the farmer opposed the request or whether a judge has ruled. The dispute centers on his decision to sell the herd without consulting his wife.
