Analysis type: scenario-model
Legal Framework
Matrimonial Causes Act 1973, Section 25. Courts aim for a 'fair' outcome with the starting point of equal sharing (White v White [2000]). Needs of the parties are primary.
What We Model
- Equal sharing starting point
- Adjustment for needs (housing, income)
- Alimony (maintenance) range estimates
- 10-year net worth projection
What We Cannot Know
- Section 25 gives courts wide discretion β outcomes vary significantly
- Length of marriage and pre-marital assets are highly case-specific
- Non-matrimonial assets (inheritance) require professional assessment
When to Get Professional Help
- Significant assets from before marriage or inheritance
- One party has much higher earning capacity
- Complex pension arrangements
- Business interests
