Financial Times explores some of the lesser-known quirks that potential divorcees should be aware of:
- Adultery doesn’t mean you will get a bigger settlement
- Adultery is only grounds for divorce where it is committed with a member of the opposite sex
- There is no such thing as a ‘quickie’ divorce
- It is possible to have a ‘no fault’ divorce
- Getting divorced in England can benefit the financially weaker party
- If an overseas divorce has left you high and dry, try again in England
- You might not get a ‘meal ticket for life’
- Full disclosure means full disclosure
- You cannot always separate assets you had before you were married
- There is no formula for working out how assets are divided
