The Times
Mrs G approached her Solicitor for advice on matrimonial finances following separation from her husband. An agreement was reached between the parties whereby Mrs G was led to believe that she would receive monthly maintenance payments from her ex-husband until he reached the age of 65.
The terms of this agreement were set out in writing and approved by a Court so as to become legally binding. However, the content of the written agreement differed from what Mrs G had discussed and agreed with her Solicitor. The agreement was drafted in such a way that maintenance payments to Mrs G ceased when she became entitled to take her own private pension benefits at the age of 55. This is not what Mrs G had intended, and she stands to lose 10 years’ worth of maintenance payments as a result.
