SV v AV

SV v AV

The Wife failed to prove the Husband had beneficial interests in the properties other than BR. The pre-nuptial agreement was not sufficiently established or fair to be given weight. The only asset available is the Husband's non-matrimonial interest in BR, but the Wife's needs are currently met through cohabitation with RK. There are no matrimonial assets to share, and the Wife's claims are dismissed with a clean break order.
