Final settlements in financial disputes following divorce
About the project
The first research report as a result of this study helped to provide a richer understanding of private ordering of financial disputes in England and Wales. It explored the 鈥榟ow鈥�, when鈥� and 鈥榳hy鈥� of financial settlement on divorce and included an analysis of the factors that help and hinder settlement of financial disputes following divorce.
The second stage of the research was to provide evidence as to the reality of financial provision on divorce for ordinary people in the 鈥榚veryday鈥� case.
The findings demonstrated that in cases which obtain a court order, the 鈥榗lean break鈥� culture is prevalent and that joint lives periodical payments orders between spouses are rare.
