There are few people whose lives are unaffected by marriage breakdown. Yet how many are well informed about the divorce process and/or appreciate the wide powers the court has to redistribute property and income after divorce? Those who act without the benefit of specialist legal advice can risk impoverishing themselves and their families by accepting less than the court may award them or offering more than the court would order them to give. The Handbook of Separation and Divorce is principally concerned with the financial consequences of marriage breakdown in England and Wales. It suggests what should be done when a marriage is in difficulty and ensures that advice is obtained from a solicitor who is a specialist. It recognises that everyone who separates or divorces will be the poorer and recommends that where appropriate those who can face mediation should undertake it while at the same time ensuring they can get independent legal advice. The Handbook of Separation and Divorce will be essential reading for social workers and health professionals as well as the general reader and those going through, or considering, divorce or separation.
This edition explains in an accessible fashion one of the most technical and pitfall-strewn areas of family law practice. It looks at the law and procedure relating to the redistribution of pension rights on divorce, covering the different types of pensions, the powers and procedures of the court, the acturaial issues involved, and how to deal with the many different situations that can arise.

A practical and user friendly guide to the more challenging areas of ancillary relief practice
Divorce, as we think of it today, is usually considered to be a modern invention. This book challenges that viewpoint, documenting the many and varied uses of divorce in the medieval period and highlighting the fact that couples regularly divorced on the grounds of spousal incompatibility.
The second edition of Divorce and the Family Business is a comprehensive guide to current law and practice, updated to include recent developments such as the nationwide introduction of the ancillary relief scheme, new rules in relation to expert evidence - of special relevance in such groundbreaking cases as White v White and Conran. The unravelling of the business affairs of divorcing clients presents the family lawyer with special difficulties: the inherent complexities of different business structures, the mysteries of company accounts, the balance between adequate disclosure and investigation and incurring excessive costs, and the tax implications of an order or settlement. Written by authors combining legal and accountancy expertise, Divorce and the Family Business clearly explains the particular problems associated with this area of practice and provides expert guidance on how you can protect your client's interests.
