Mr Charman has just lost his Court of Appeal Application to reduce his wife’s 38% share in the assets amassed during their marriage.Not really surprising, surely, after a relationship which started when they were teenagers at school 37 years ago?And yet the size of the 38% sends everyone reeling - £48 million!Mr C believes he should get a much greater slice of the action because of his “

There was a great deal of fuss last week when an English Court refused a wife a share of her ex-husband’s future earnings on the basis that the couple had built up enough assets during the marriage to meet the wife’s future needs.It was suggested that this meant that wives were going to receive less in future.Frankly this is nonsense. In the case of McFarlane v McFarlane the couple had a

In a recent case the Court has accepted that a wife should be able to have her financial claims dealt with in England, although the divorce had originally taken place in Spain.The wife particularly wanted this because of the difference between the law on pensions in the UK and Spain here, after a long marriage, an equal division of pensions is the norm on a pension sharing basis. Such an

What would happen if we expected equal parenting?Not just after separation as a matter of law, but during relationships as a matter of social norm?What if the demands for Fathers 4 Justice actually came through – fifty percent care each – ALL THE TIME.How many fathers would feel quite so free to skip off into the sunset with a new woman if they knew that they faced fifty percent care of their

http://www.marriagemakeover.co.uk/1 March 4th 2007The Sunday Times asks is Britain splitting up over Marriage? The politicians are polarised – David Cameron advocates marriage as the bedrock of society and protector of children, whereas Tony Blair offers no such judgement but is prepared to pick up the pieces where things go wrong.Are either of them right, or is this just political posturing?
