More exciting developments in family law with the recent decision of Sharp and Sharp.

The court decided that in a short marriage with no children a 50/50 split is not the way forward. This involved a big money case but it will be interesting to see how the courts will apply this to us ordinary folk. I also wonder whether the boundaries will be pushed to set out what exactly is a short marriage. In this case it was four years, but could this be increased?
I have also seen an opinion about whether the court would have made the same decision if a man had brought the case; interesting questions!
If you have any questions about your matrimonial matter call me know, it is always best to consult an expert!
