Ten things you should know about getting divorced

5 Jul 2018

Financial Times explores some of the lesser-known quirks that potential divorcees should be aware of:

  1. Adultery doesn’t mean you will get a bigger settlement
  2. Adultery is only grounds for divorce where it is committed with a member of the opposite sex
  3. There is no such thing as a ‘quickie’ divorce
  4. It is possible to have a ‘no fault’ divorce
  5. Getting divorced in England can benefit the financially weaker party
  6. If an overseas divorce has left you high and dry, try again in England
  7. You might not get a ‘meal ticket for life’
  8. Full disclosure means full disclosure
  9. You cannot always separate assets you had before you were married
  10. There is no formula for working out how assets are divided
