Course description

The process of dividing up a couple’s money and property is often the most contentious part of a divorce. In England and Wales, the law differentiates between two types of assets: those which are ‘matrimonial’ and those which are ‘non-matrimonial’. This distinction can make a significant difference to the outcome of the financial proceedings.

This webinar explores the difference between matrimonial and non-matrimonial resources and focuses on the court’s approach to splitting assets on divorce.

It is presented by Shivi Rajput of Charles Russell Speechlys, whose work predominantly comprises high to ultra-high-net-worth financial disputes.
