More money after divorce!!!


Two women who accused their ex-husbands of misleading judges about their net worth during divorce proceedings have won a Supreme Court victory.






Alison Sharland, 48, from Wilmslow, Cheshire, and Varsha Gohil, 50, from north London, were both disappointed with the amount they received after splitting with their partners and wanted their claims re-examined.

Supreme Court justices, who analysed the disputes at a hearing in London in June, have now ruled in their favour.

Lawyer John Darnton, a partner at law firm Bircham Dyson Bell, said: ‘The decision of the Supreme Court will be of huge interest to individuals who feel that their partner may have tried to mislead the court within financial proceedings on divorce, but it could have far wider implications on the effects of non-disclosure in divorce.’

Mrs Sharland accepted more than £10 million in cash and properties from ex-husband Charles Sharland three years ago, justices were told.

While Mrs Gohil accepted £270,000 plus a car from her husband Bhadresh Gohil more than a decade ago but lawyers said she thought the business was valued at between £31 million and £47 million, but reports in the financial press put the value at £1 billion.

Mrs Gohil’s husband was convicted of money laundering following their divorce.
