What does “matrimonialisation of assets” mean and why should it bother me?
In this blog, we explain how matrimonial and non-matrimonial assets are treated on divorce, and how the latter can become the former through matrimonialisation. We analyse the case of Standish v Standish, where the wife's award was reduced by £20 million as the husband's pre-marital wealth that was transferred to her was not matrimonialised.
