How much do contractors' wives get in divorce?

I doubt BrilloPad has an opinion on this.

Go and see a solicitor.

This is not for me, I was just curious.

[dude69]

and I was curious how they reckoned income, is it a case of current contract earnings? Or salary? Or last year's dividends? Or theoretical post-tax maximum earnings?

And do you stop paying when you're on the bench?

.......

And do you stop paying when you're on the bench?

If my sis's ex is anything to go by, you can just pay when you feel like it.

After several years and many "investigations" by the CSA he has paid a fraction of what he's supposed to, even on his declared income. Before they got divorced he once showed me how he evades tax - he is self employed in a business that mostly deals in cash.

How much would a contractor on say £500/day going through an Ltd. be made to pay?

WGAS?

Divorce this, matrimony that, who get the kids, house possession....gak...this board is worse than the modern day equivalent of a Claire Rayner column.

Just reading this, the (according to the Daily Mail) 'Senior executive' at JP Morgan http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/ar...l-Tufnell.html

was made to pay £2750/month to the Mrs. then lied about his circumstances, and it was uprated to £3250. Claims he lives in a £1m Singapore flat, and kids go to a school which costs US$ $13-$16k depending on age. So obviously pretty loaded.

Doesn't seem that much, but then the £500,000 house ain't that much these days, so perhaps not as senioras implied?

Is this a serious question or hyperthetical?

oh dear

"say stay at home wife, two pre-school children."

You need to get her out to work full time and stay at home full time with the kids.

Get your girlfriend to move in and change the locks. When wifey attempts to break in, call the police and say you feel threatened. Get injunction to keep her away and file for divorce. Do not let her see the kids - she is just too threatening and out of control.

Do not work until divorce finalised. Then get call centre job for 16 hrs a week.
This will entitle you to lots of tax credits and help with childcare (you will also get lots of tax free maintenance (if ex has salary, CSA will take it out at source). Make sure live in girlfriend has separate address so she can claim benefits if necessary and your claim not affected.

You will now have the kids, nice income and the house and live in girlfriend. If still not satisfied, force ex through the courts for access to children and make things as difficult as possible.
