Financial Remedy Orders & ‘Add-Back’ - A Guide for Family Lawyers

Introduction

The principle of ‘add-back’ is a method often discussed within financial remedy cases, both consented and contested. It is a principle when one party will seek a re-attribution of (some or all) funds that one party has allegedly taken from the matrimonial assets and resources. It is therefore very important that all practitioners are able to advise on add-back claims and their merits or not.
