Distribution of Matrimonial Assets on Divorce : Supplement to the Third Edition

The Matrimonial and Family Proceedings Act 1984 amended the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973.

This book covers the resultant case law built up since the 3rd edition in 1989, and considers the idea of "clean break" - the main factor considered for the distribution of matrimonial assets on divorce.

In particular, the authors examine the way in which the "clean break" process can be affected depending upon the affluence or otherwise of the parties involved.

At the same time, the book examines how the Child Support Act, with its calculations on child maintence, will affect the "clean break" factor.
