Financial proceedings are described as "ancillary" or "ancillary relief" following
a divorce. However they are often the most important area. |

Financial Settlements - Scenario Analysis Example #1
Mrs G left the home last year due to her husband?s alcoholism. The home is in his name and he refuses to co-operate. He works as a Sales Director and has a large pension accumulated from fifteen years with his employer.
Our solution:
Mrs G petitioned for divorce on the basis of her husband's unreasonable behaviour. At the same time we filed a financial application. When Mr G failed to make financial disclosure we obtained an Order requiring him to do so in 14 days or risk imprisonment for contempt of Court. It was made clear that if he did not co-operate then the Court would make Orders giving Mrs G her share anyway and if necessary Mrs G would be given power to sell the house and to evict him. Mr G then settled the case.
