Summary: Wife sought unequal division of property after 8 year relationship. Proceeds from sale of matrimonial home divided unequally having regard to wife’s post-separation payment of all debts. She contributed to her pension for almost 17 years before cohabitation began. The pre-cohabitation pension contributions were not divided. Where there was no evidence of the value of household contents, a mechanism was put in place for them to be divided in specie.
Key words: Family – property division, debt division, unequal division, pension, household contents
