Family partner Neil Russell has commented on a potential landmark court of appeal divorce ruling in the Press Association. Julie Sharp successfully challenged the equal distribution of marital assets in her divorce in a ruling which could pave the way for more challenges to divorce settlements.
Neil commented:
"Marriage is still a partnership.
"The fruits of the partnership continue to be shared equally; unless there is good reason to depart from equality.
"As to the reasons, these remain for the courts to decide on a case-by-case basis.
"The litigation casino remains open with the roulette wheel continuing to spin."
