Details

A practical and user friendly guide to the more challenging areas of ancillary relief practice.

This book is divided into ten detailed parts and contains specialist contributions from a forensic accountant and an actuary. The book contains a new section on insolvency, debt and market volatility to assist practitioners in dealing with the consequences of the credit crunch. In concentrating on complex areas of practice, this book provides practitioners with assistance in unlocking assets for the benefit of their client. This edition has been fully updated to take account of recent changes in case law and the impact for practitioners.

Unlocking Matrimonial Assets on Divorce is an eminently practical publication aimed at specialist ancillary relief practitioners and also those lawyers who only intermittently undertake work in the area.

"a must have book for thoses who are seriously intrested in ancillary relief, it reads relatively easily and explains in well thought out chapters the legal principles with helpful analysis ... extremely helpful chapters ... worth reading through from beginning to end"
Jeff Botterill

"There are some text books which arrive on the market which almost instantly find a place on a practitioner's desk, destined to become a well thumbed and trusted aid.Unlocking Matrimonial Assets on Divorce is one of those books... This book gives the practitioner a head start when considering what to look for in the other party's disclosure, their Form E, what questions to ask, and so on... one of those books where practitioners would benefit form reading it from cover-to-cover... highly readable... This book is already a permanent fixture on my desk and I suspect is destined to arrive on most busy practitioners' desks"
