Infamous law case Charman v Charman identified ‘matrimonial property’ as ‘the property of the parties generated during the marriage using it as a specific way to separate assets. This issue has been raised again with the case of Standish v Standish as on appeal found a portion of the money was not to be considered under the sharing principle triggering a substantial payback on appeal. Classification of assets has therefore become a keen issue. As well as this litigation is taking more of a back seat as alternative dispute resolution (ADR) and financial dispute resolution (FDR) have risen up the ranks as a service as the tolerance of the courts in the UK drops – brought on by backlog pressure. What does it mean for family law which is at the heart of life? It is set to undertake a substantial change in how it operates. Family law though continues to throw up new areas of contention with trusts, company assets, pensions, surrogacy issues; children matters and even pet ownership becoming more debated. Whatever your issue, it is important to pick a family lawyer who can help and guide you through these emotional times and also to help make sure your financial well-being is secured. With that, Citywealth is delighted to introduce our Top 75 family lawyers for 2025.
