I applied for divorce from my husband over a year ago. He is a very high earner (£400k) but since then has spent unprecedented amounts of money (after his mortgage on a separate house £12k per month). It has drained funds that would have been part of the matrimonial pot but he says this is ‘normal’ spending. I am on the other hand a ‘saver’ and have spend the year trying to build up reserves to protect my future. I am currently not working for a number of reasons I won’t go into here but related to events leading up to the divorce. Will and should his spending be considered when we negotiate the settlement?
