Sorry to hear that you are in that situation. I hope things goes well for you. I guess it is some consolation that the courts takes into account the assets each party brought into the marriage.

It is interesting to hear first hand on what the situation acutally is, as most of the books I read about trusts claimed that it offers some protection against divoice. However, when I speak to accountants, they are not too sure.

So if you are in a low risk occupation (e.g.salary earner), is the costs of setting up and running the company and trust worth the benefits that you get? What sort of factors that you have to take into account?
