    [2020] HKFC 71
    Court
    Family Court
    Case number
    FCMC7727/2018

    Decree nisi granted because the two‑year separation was established and there were no circumstances or conduct making it wrong to dissolve the marriage under s15B; the respondent's insistence on determining ancillary relief first was legally unsupported by s25(1)(a) and did not justify refusing the decree; respondent's financial position did not demonstrate the requisite hardship.

    • Decree nisi
    • Two years separation
    • Grave financial hardship (s15b)
    • Ancillary relief jurisdiction (s25(1)(a))
    • Division of matrimonial assets
