@FamilyLawHour The law on LSPOs requires statutory reform as well as a change in judicial approach. Pound for pound orders do not work in cases with economic abuse. It takes a lot more work to chase disclosure than it does to withhold it!
@FamilyLawHour The research shows that survivors will suffer financial detriment as a result of abuse. The extent of that detriment is unlikely to be known or calculable at the point of separation.
@FamilyLawHour No it is not, but at what threshold do you let it be taken into account. I have always thought the threshold is only high because of public policy reasons (floodgate arguments).
@LBDLegal@FamilyLawHour Completely agree. It’s the only s25 factor that now has a special procedure to factor it out of a financial remedy case at the outset. Nothing to prevent litigants from running hopeless contributions arguments!
@FamilyLawHour No and the fact that conduct should be addressed at an early stage is premature in my view. It also doesn't address continued abuse throughout the proceedings.
