plus 30% of his business if he sells out...........



not knowing how much SHE put into the marriage, ???

and that's just the solicitor's fees ;-) ;-)

of course the longer it drags out the bigger the bill............wonder if they are on, No Win, No Fee?

Well, their husbands shouldn't have lied!!!! :-D

This will affect many 'lowly' people too, like my daughter, who's ex is definitely earning more than he says, doesn't bother buying the school uniforms like he said he would, and p*sses her about with contact times - which affects daughter's work rota :-P :-P

Good for them :-D

Agree, SuperC

Excellent. Liars deserve all they get. Hope the women get costs against the lying ******** as well.

What about truthful liars? And when is 'enough', enough? :-P

What is a truthful liar?

I think in this current case its just gold grabbing...........

The amount doesn't matter at all.

If you deserve a proportion of an amount then you should get that amount, whether that be £4,000 or 40,000000, the amount is of no significance, you should receive the right proportion.

These ladies now go back to the High court to be reassessed, they could actually come out with a lesser amount.

These men were liars about what they had, they got found out, and good job they did.

I know of someone who was awarded 5p a YEAR, because her husband said he hadn't a bean, he did, I sat in the court and watched him lie, not pleasant.

Edit. By the way The Supreme Court doesn't have a guilty/not guilty verdict, It judges on points of law.

A 'truthful liar' is an oxymoron - I think.

Why do you think he lied about his total wealth in the first place?

He knew that she was entitled to her full share when they divorced.

She's not greedy.
He IS!

We all expect fair play but not everyone agrees what fair play is.

That's why we have The Supreme Court Dermot :-D

Lynda ~ fair enough.

;-) Dermot

The whole idea of "getting half" seems an unfair rule of thumb.
My wife has worked part time been the main carer for our kids and contributed to our
house and savings equally.

A wife who has spent her time designing the home how she wants it and spending money her husband has earned on clothes, jewelry, holidays and employing a nanny to bring up the kids, should not expect to carry on as before with half his money.

Can you blame someone who feels his wife is taking him for a ride for feeling less than eager to pay out. After all these women were not exactly thrown out on the street in their underwear!

If a man or a woman works full time and their partner stays at home, looks after the children, house and all the other things life brings, then surely the couple have an equal partnership ?

If not, and they divorce, and the working partner doesnt want to share the money they see as "my money" then maybe the non working partner should invoice the working partner for all the times, they worked overtime by staying up all night when the children were Ill, the times when other half rang from the office to say would they just collect something for them, as they are "so busy" or all the times they just "had" to go out to dinner with a client, so non working partner had to cancel their plans for the night, then i reckon non working partner would probably end up with more. I could go on, but you get my drift.

Marriage is a partnership, if you don't want to share, don't get married, or have a prenup drafted.

Probably, at the time seeing as how the stock market works(up one day, down the next)
the original settlement was likely, in order


but come on 3 properties +7 million+30 % of the sale of the business ain't bad bearing in mind for 17 years she was likely a "kept" woman, and........and not really needing to sell matches on street corners!!!

I reckon in this case........she is a gold grabber just MY opinion, Mind!
