Where you are with divorce – Lucia Clark
The case of Villiers v Villiers deals with a clash between the English and Scottish courts regarding which should deal with the financial end of a marriage. It is a case which raises big questions about what is fair in both the Scottish and English systems for divorce and in how to decide which court should deal with a couple’s separation.
Mr and Mrs Villiers had lived in Scotland throughout their marriage, but on separation, Mrs Villiers moved to England. She sought to raise divorce proceedings in England, but these were dismissed.
