A woman's settlement claim against her husband is upheld despite being divorced for 20 years.

What planet do these judges live on?

Half a million spent fighting the case so far versus a few grand on a dodgy character down the pub to address the situation, I know how I'd be spending my money.

i think the issue is child support

although when the reporter was reading out the sob story of ' the women lived in caravans, continuously moving around and never settled'' Well that is what new age travelers do isn't it ? :S

It's just another nail in the coffin for marriage

'They' (whever they is) say it will open the doors for many other claims. I have to agree this is a cloud cookoo land judgement.

so does this mean my first wife will want a share if I win the lottery.

I did think 'wtf' when I read the titles - but actually it seems in the original divorce case he either didn't agree to it being a 'final' settlement, or lost the papers.

(Edit, beaten to it already by a few hours.)

Another reason why marriage is a poor idea for the single bloke. Marry someone, split up and 20 years later the old hag could have half of your 20 years of hard work.

I had to double a mortgage for a house my ex wife of 2.5 years contributed to for 6 years😞

After only 6 years of ownership, she was paid more than the outstanding amount, 6 years into a repayment mortgage.

Lost the papers and apparently there are no court records because so long ago.


Either way still think its a bit shit.



Makes the case for prenups, but then thats like saying you almost expect the marriage not to last.

Thought this was going to be a "what if" story about Scottish independence.

I was never a fan of marriage due to the difficulties of cutting ties with the person in the event of a divorce anyway, but a year or so ago, I saw an article about a guy who'd won the lottery, and even though he was divorced for about 10 years, she was able to claim half that money. That was the final nail in the coffin for me.

Reminds me of the old Eddie Murphy Standup Tour RAW. "HALF!"

AIUI, the gold digger, in this case, is still mining!

She has not won any money yet.
What has happened is, the supreme court have ordered she has the right to have her case heard in the family court.

In the judgement Lord Wilson said:-

I read this and seethed the whole way through

I would rather have burned the money on a massive pyre than paid her a single damn penny.

its all rather scarey, I decided to divorce my ex after having walked out on him 13 years ago, I left him with everything by the way.

I was told to rethink my decison as I could still go after him for money etc.

I was like erm I dont think so, just get this divorce rolling.
