Lord Neuberger on courts’ treatment of former spouses and cohabitees
Lord Neuberger has explored the different approach adopted by the courts towards former spouses on one hand and former cohabitees on the other in a lecture given by the President of the Supreme Court to the family law ‘At a Glance’ conference held in London towards the end of last month.
Lord Neuberger surveys relevant case law, acknowledging this area of family law “is inevitably sensitive to social policy considerations”.
