Short Marriages - Avoiding the Pitfalls for Family Lawyers
Introduction
The area of short marriages tends to be one of the more complex, as you will find both parties will have polarising opinions on what the reasonable outcome should be. This is especially the case where one spouse has given up a lot to enter into a marriage, or someone has spent a lot of money on the wedding!
A short marriage does not always result in a clean break, and there are times where the length of the marriage has no bearing on the outcome of a financial split.
This webinar will look at what the Courts currently consider a ‘short’ marriage, what types of need will have a pivotal effect on the settlement outcome, and when clients should understand that principles are outnumbered by practicalities.
What You Will Learn
This webinar will cover the following:
- What is considered short?
- What type of needs outweigh the sharing principle?
- Is spousal maintenance a risk in a short marriage?
- How to avoid pitfalls of a short marriage on divorce
