Following a husband-friendly ruling by the Court of Appeal that soon-to-be ex-wives will no longer be able to use secretly obtained financial records to prove that their estranged husbands are hiding assets, the whole nature of ‘big money’ divorce cases is set to be transformed.

The court’s decision may mean that wealthy husbands will be free to hide assets which would normally be included in divorce settlements, so that their wives will need to fight harder to lay claim to any of it.

It is hoped that this ruling will transform the UK’s reputation for allowing women to see divorce as a profitable deal rather than legal proceedings designed to split assets fairly.

It’s a controversial issue though, what do you think? Please feel free to leave your thoughts.

Katie Price (aka Jordan) has hired Paul McCartney’s divorce lawyer for her divorce from Peter Andre. Fiona Shackleton acted as the main legal representative during Macca’s split from Heather Mills. Reports suggest that Peter Andre has also hired a divorce lawyer and is ready to cite ‘unreasonable behaviour’ as the main reason behind the split.

A source in the story claimed:

“It’s sad, but she’s (Price) given up the fight”

Recent stories of Price living up to this reputation have hit the headlines and websites have posted numrous pictures of Katie Price enjoying the single life again and showing little sign of sadness at the split, whereas Andre has lived a more sombre last month prefering to keep himself to himself with a private trip to see his family.

Price has since admitted feeling “shit and ugly”. Maybe the stress of her pending divorce is getting to her. Pictures post split show she’s partying to try and get over the split which will further infuriate Peter.

If you thought your ex-wife was a bit of a bitch, Marie Douglas-David will leave her cold. The Swedish wife of George David, former CEO of United Technologies Corp, wants $100 million in her divorce settlement, claiming that the paltry $38 million she has been offered isn’t enough to live on.

Quite right, who could struggle by on $38 million?

It’s hard to see what the young Swedish woman saw in the sixty-seven-year-old millionaire, maybe he was just full of life and wit?

According to reports, she is demanding that her soon to be ex-husband pays her $53,000 per week for living expenses. David has a fortune estimated to be around $329 million. Marie Douglas-David is claiming that her old man husband used sex as a means to control her… right. Could that not be the other way round love?

When you’re going through divorce and your wife has left the house, which sometimes happens, especially if she’s looking to get housed, you’ll have the problem of nothing being secure in your home. You could come home and find that your possessions have been taken, your food has gone and even money has been taken. Is there anything that you can do about it?

Divorce solicitors sometimes offer contradicting advice on the matter of changing the locks on your house to keep your wife out. Firstly, if your home is in joint names, your wife has a legal right to enter the property. Therefore if you do change the locks on your house she has the right to call a locksmith and have them changed again.

This tit-for-tat could go on, with you both changing the locks, until a judge makes a ruling, which will most likely be that no one can change the locks and no one can remove anything from the house without written permission from the other person.

So, if your wife is continually entering your house when she no longer lives there and stealing your things, change the locks. Be prepared for her to do the same though.
