Successful enforcement of maintenance arrears for ex-wife

How should courts divide matrimonial assets in “highly unusual” marital breakdowns? The three-step structured approach to the division of matrimonial assets is a useful starting point for courts to determine the appropriate ratio to be ascribed to each party. However, should courts depart from this starting position where a party is found to have made negative contributions to the family in the course of the marriage? In this "highly unusual" case, the Court of Appeal held, inter alia, that the Wife’s contributions to the family should be ascribed a negative value. Notwithstanding this, the Court of Appeal reversed the High Court’s decision by affirming the three-step structured approach to grant division of the matrimonial assets 75:25 in favour of the Husband.
