Whilst this is another story of Billionaire Divorces involving the distribution of significant assets for a spouse and children, which makes headline news, it also shows that the UK Family Courts and laws have to deal with a wide variety of matters and complexities.

You do not have to be wealthy or have assets to be able to seek a Financial Order through the Family Courts within Divorce/Dissolution proceedings, but it is advisable to ensure you know what the Courts can Order and how best to resolve financial matters when separating, in order to give certainty and closure for the future.
