Sarah Wood speaks to Hatti Suvari at Get Legally Speaking about when proceeds of crime legislation and financial divorce proceedings collide.
Financial Settlements in divorce and proceeds of crime:
With 42% of marriages ending in divorce in England & Wales, what happens when the assets of the marriage are pulled in to criminal proceedings, as proceeds of crime? As a spouse in this situation, can you intervene in any confiscation proceedings to try and protect your share of the assets of the marriage? What could the process of matrimonial divorce proceedings in the family court, alongside criminal proceedings in the criminal courts look like?
