The ex-husbands of Varsha Gohil and Alison Sharland have been shamed by the Supreme Court and exposed as having hidden their considerable assets from their ex-wives in their divorce settlements. The Supreme Court ruled that both ex-wives could pursue their wealthy husbands in the courts to get a fairer financial deal.<\/p>\n
Amelia Summers<\/strong>, a specialist Family Law solicitor at award winning leading regional law firm RRP Associates says \u201cThis is an astonishing result for Varsha Gohil and Alison Sharland and has the potential to open the floodgates on past claims where exes of either sex have been deceived by their spouses on their actual wealth at the time of their divorce.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s always been very hard to prove someone\u2019s wealth and assets and I hope that now spouses will realise there really is no hiding place. In these two cases the degree of deception was shocking. Mrs Gohil\u2019s husband was imprisoned for money laundering at the time of their divorce and he hid his wealth of \u00a335million. She was given just \u00a3270,000 and the family\u2019s Peugeot car. Mrs Sharland was given an apparently sizeable settlement of \u00a310.3million but she knew her husband was worth much more and she pursued him on principle. It turned out he was due to float his very successful tech company for \u00a3600million.<\/p>\n \u201cFortunately for exes who feel they have been deceived or even defrauded of their rightful settlement, there is no statute of limitations (time limit) on re opening cases. We handle divorces and related financial settlements all the time at RRP Associates and I am sure we\u2019ll be re visited by a number of past clients. The only thing I would say, as it is important to point it out, that going back to court when an exes wealth has been revealed does not automatically guarantee that the ex-wife- or ex husband- will end up with a bigger settlement.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The ex-husbands of Varsha Gohil and Alison Sharland have been shamed by the Supreme Court and exposed as having hidden their considerable assets from their ex-wives in their divorce settlements.
