Determining percentage entitlement in property settlement

There is no 50%/50% presumption or (even) starting point when it comes to how property is divided between divorcing couples. The percentage is determined by looking at the “contributions” each party has made. This is an inexact science and will vary for every couple.

This webinar will look at:

The main categories of contribution and particularly how “financial and non-financial contributions” are treated.
What is “future needs” and how is it treated?
The treatment of gifts, inheritances, personal injury payments, redundancy payments and other common questions.
