Short Marriages - Practicalities & Tactics Explored with Claire Wills-Goldingham KC

Introduction

All breakdowns of marriages are governed by the same legal structure, but as the application of the MCA 1973 has been applied over many years, there is a diversity of approach - particularly so with short marriages.

This virtual classroom seminar will provide a comprehensive understanding of the development of the law in this area, with particular regard to how to approach the practicalities, including tactical approaches to FDA and FDR with particular issues that commonly arise - including pre-nups and trusts - given that a lot of short marriages can also be second or more marriages.
