Last week, The Telegraph, a British Newspaper, featured an article entitled “Couple Racks Up Legal Bills of Nearly £1m Fighting Divorce Battle (Over Assets Worth Just £2.9m).” To be clear, that is over $1.25 million spent on assets worth a little over $3.5 million; the couple has spent over a third of everything they have built up over 18 years, just to fund their divorce litigation.
When asked to comment, the Justice presiding over this matter exclaimed, “I must confess to have been almost lost for words when the scale of this madness was revealed to me.” According to Justice Mostyn, the couple’s dispute over the division of assets was “easily settleable” but has become contentious and wasteful due to the parties’ inability to compromise.
At the end of the lawsuit, the marital assets will be divided as follows: the wife will receive approximately $1.4 million (38.9% of the assets), the husband will receive approximately $1.05 million (29.2% of the assets), and the lawyers and experts will walk away with approximately $1.15 million (31.9% of the assets). Commenting on this division, Justice Mostyn stated, “These figures speak for themselves…such a result should not be allowed to happen again.”
