    Well, she will apply for case in local UK court, which will make decision in her favour in abcentia and then issue warrant for arrest to enforce it - this kind of court avoidance game can only work when the other side is very poor and can't afford lawyers, but given those cases of wealthy guys you can be damn sure there will be enough lawyers who would put time into it as rewards are there to be taken.

        After a quick Google search, I admit you're right Threaded, but I found that Luxembourg doesn't.

            Radio this morning indicated that in Scotland, she gets half of whatever increases occurred during the marriage regardless of what you turned up with at the start, seems fair to me.

              I see that whenever a thread appears on this subject it attracts a lot of vitriol. Is it anything to do with your profession? the fact that you are working away from home or spend inordinate amounts of your time either on this site or waffling on about technology?

                      This is painful. Just give it up Mailman.

                      What's the forum coming to when you can't even get a decent riposte or insult?
