My spouse thinks I lied during divorce proceedings and wants to reopen my case, what should I do?
=================================================================================================

Divorce can be a tumultuous and emotional experience, particularly when disputes over finances or child arrangements arise. The process is challenging enough without the added concern that one party may have been dishonest, potentially resulting in an unfair outcome.

Since the Supreme Court decisions of [*Sharland v Sharland*](https://vardags.com/law-guide/important-divorce-cases/gohil-v-gohil-sharland-v-sharland/) and [*Gohil v Gohil*](https://vardags.com/law-guide/important-divorce-cases/gohil-v-gohil-sharland-v-sharland), the court has greater ability to re-open cases if there has been fraudulent non-disclosure. This has led to an increasing number of spouses trying to have their cases brought back to court.

Often, this can be unmerited, born out of their feeling they got a bad deal, rather than actual evidence of asset hiding. Even so, an appeal can be a costly and time consuming process with you having to go to court to fight the allegations.

Vardags are experienced with cases such as this, and will help you demonstrate that the original outcome was the right one. We will help you demonstrate that your previous disclosure was full and frank and that any omissions were honest mistakes and not attempts to deceive the court.

Unlike ordinary family proceedings, the losing party in an appeal can be ordered to pay the winner's costs. It is possible therefore that you will be able to rebuff these false accusations without being out of pocket.
