Lawyer says wealthy fathers should ‘fear’ McCartney divorce judgement

 

 

A leading national family lawyer based in Burton-upon-Trent said last night that wealthy fathers had grounds to fear the scale of future awards to children in divorce cases - following the decision in the McCartney-Mills High Court case.

 

Michael Vale, a partner at Else Solicitors specialising in family law, said the High Court award to four-year-old Beatrice McCartney of £35,000 a year, plus the cost of a nanny and school fees, would amount to a huge sum payable which could be payable until the end of her time at university.

Pre-nuptial agreements - the jury is still out

 

As a principle, pre-nuptial agreements are said not to be binding on English courts. However, in view of a recent case, legal opinion is now some what divided.

 

The case concerned a Mr and Mrs Crossley.  He was a wealthy property developer; she a serial divorcee.  With a bride to be who had amassed an £18 million fortune and three ex husbands, it was no wonder that Mr Crossley signed up his intended to a pre-nup.  The deal was that if the union went sour she could not get her hands on his own fortune of £42 million.
