AF v GF [2024] EWHC 3478 (Fam)25 November 2024

ST v AR [2025] EWFC 4
The Husband is 70. The Wife is 51. They have a 9-year-old daughter. They cohabited from February 2003 and in early 2012 separated due to the wife’s affair. In August 2012 – c.9 months later – they reunited. They married on 8 October 2012. The wife applied for divorce in May 2023. They therefore had nearly 20 years together, albeit not seamless cohabitation.
