I'm already divorced but my spouse is trying to reopen the case in England, what should I do?

Unlike many other countries, England allows people to apply for financial remedies even if they are already divorced in another country. Often spouses will use this power under Part III of the Matrimonial and Family Proceedings Act to try to re-open the case and get more money.

Part III applications are complicated, and they should not be seen as a simple chance to get a second go. It is only available where no, or no adequate provision has been made and is likely to be largely limited to what your spouse reasonably needs. That said, the court has a broad discretion in the award it makes.

As international family lawyers, Vardags are used to making and resisting Part III applications. We will help you demonstrate that the existing award was fair and provides adequately for their needs. Where the court decides that additional provision is necessary, we will help you ensure that it is limited to what they actually need and prevent them from attacking your assets.
