A Statutory Declaration will not achieve what you want or afford you much protection.
You need a financial separation from the Family Court - ideally by Consent Orders negotiated out of Court if possible.
We do a lot of this work, please feel free to contact us.

Vicky, as Dean said, you need to be protected. There are only two ways of doing this- a binding financial agreement ( generally not recommended) or orders, preferably with the agreement of you and your ex: these are called consent orders. Most people settle without going anywhere near a courtroom, and can do so cheaply.
