This handbook is a practical and user friendly guide to some of the more challenging areas of ancillary relief practice. It is divided into eight detailed parts and contains specialist contributions from a forensic accountant and an actuary. In concentrating on complex areas of practice, this book provides practitioners with assistance in unlocking assets for the benefit of their client. This edition has been fully updated to take into account all the recent changes in case law and the impact for practitioners.

Unlocking Matrimonial Assets on Divorce is an eminently practical publication aimed at specialist ancillary relief practitioners and also those lawyers who only intermittently undertake work in the area.
