Celeb Divorces - Why do Mainstream Media get it wrong?
Nowadays divorce cases regularly find their way into mainstream media reports, for example, BBC News Online or Sky News, due to the size of financial awards between husband and wife or because of some other sensational aspect, particularly if high profile celebrities are involved. In many of those cases a common denominator in media reporting is that the husband was forced to give a chunk of his assets to his wife. The emphasis being that husband has had to “give” his own money to the wife or that she “won” part of the husband’s assets. In fact, such media reports have misrepresented the law. When parties divorce under English law and seek to divide the marital assets, the law confers on the court the ability to divide up the assets in any manner it considers to be fair. In all cases, whether it be Paul McCartney divorcing or Paul Smith, the paramount consideration is the welfare of any child or children of the family. Courts of law administering justice in divorce cases also have a complete discretion when money and property must be divided between husband and wife. Both parties will have an equal entitlement to claim a share of the property and, in some cases, this may include assets acquired by one of them before they married. The idea that the husband owns all of the money, or indeed any more of than the wife, is incorrect. In particular, spouses who have been married for about fifteen years or more, will both often be entitled to 50% of the marital pot as a starting point when the court considers asset division. However, such an approach is only the starting point to determine how the assets are divided and there may be other factors which would affect that division. Further, the courts will always regard non-financial contributions to a marriage, for example, one of the spouses bringing up the children, as being of equal importance to the other party making financial contributions from, say, their salary. It is therefore a real virtue that the courts, if not the media, long ago caught up with the practical realities of the world, ensuring a fair solution should occur on divorce.
