Woman must pay former husband €1.6m as part of divorce settlement
Summary
In a High Court divorce decree, Mr Justice John Jordan ordered a woman to pay her former husband €900,000 for his share of the family home, a lump sum of €280,000, and €470,000 from her pension. The judge rejected the woman's claims of assault, abuse and threats, finding no credible evidence of violence. The couple had a long, happy marriage that deteriorated after the woman's illness, leading to separate living arrangements and joint custody of their two children. The judge noted the husband's lower income compared to the woman's successful career. He also directed the woman to continue paying the mortgage and to pay the husband a pension adjustment of 29.4% of her pension. Both parties were advised to cover their own legal costs. The decision was made on 2 November 2022.
