Family Law Fact: The Ultimate Guide to ‘Special Contributions’ in Divorce

Beating the normal 50:50 split

Divorce is a complex and emotionally charged process, often accompanied by numerous financial concerns. When deciding on how to approach the question of splitting assets, the Courts starting point under English law is that the assets are split evenly between the parties the infamous 50:50 split. However, there are various factors and arguments that can be brought before the Court that can tip the scales in favour of one party and depart from this split. Vardags specialist family law team are highly-skilled and experienced in successfully arguing such points in front of judges in the Supreme Court and below.

How are assets divided upon divorce?

How are assets divided upon divorce?

The Court is responsible for determining a fair division of matrimonial assets and has a wide discretion in making such a determination meaning it is vital in such cases to instruct experienced and expert lawyers, especially where there is no agreement between the parties.

In order to be able to determine a fair division, the Court takes into account multiple factors when approaching financial remedy proceedings. Examples of the factors, which are set out in section 25 of the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973, considered include the following:

  • Each partys contribution to the familys welfare;
  • Whether there has been any special contribution by virtue of one spouses exceptional skill and determination;
  • The parties income;
  • Marital and non-marital assets;
  • The length of the marriage; and
  • The future needs of both parties.
