A small win. Let’s hope this becomes case law so it can help all men in divorce cases moving forward.

He added: 'Being married to a rich person for three years does not suddenly catapult you into a right to live like that after the relationship has ended.'

I agree wholeheartedly. But, when has that reasonable statement EVER been applied to a woman?

being forced to give money to the partner after splitting doesn't make any sense, regardless of being man or woman. same with social services and all welfare programs. it is just an incentive for many to stop making an effort or to become social parasites

Yay!

What case is this - if it’s in Wales & England, and picked up by the Mail, chance are that it’s on the BAILII website. The law is that these cases are based on fairness given the facts of the case. Find the case and read the facts.

"The judge told him: 'Being married to a rich person for three years does not suddenly catapult you into a right to live like that after the relationship has ended.'"

The judge in my UK divorce told me that my ex wife of 5 years WAS entitled to maintain her standard of living after the relationship ended. It may have even been the same judge!

If the assets are from her father then no the husband shouldn't get anything.

Ironic. She didn't want to share wealth and hid 75% of it from him. But she didn't earn that; It was inherited. I don't understand why the world panders to women -- even fathers.

He’s a gold digger. I don’t think gender equality with gold digging is commendable or encouraged. As someone dating someone comparable to this heiress. I have zero expectation to keep the same marital lifestyle if we split post marriage. I’m willing to sign pre-nups and I only want what I put in. Call me naieve or simping but what ever

She only lost because she lied on the prenup which is incredibly stupid and isn't precedent for anything.

SuddenReturn9027 · 2025-08-01T23:18:45+00:00

He literally signed a prenup and turned down both 500k then 800k because he wanted 2.5 million. They were only married for a few months. Total goldigger

He’s gonna be just fine
