AF v AG [2024] EWHC 3478 (Fam)25 November 2024
Mr Geoffrey Kingscote KC (sitting as a Deputy High Court Judge). Useful analysis of business matrimonialisation and quantification of assets, including the valuation of pre-marital business interests. The judgment clearly covers the two-stage exercise in Charman v Charman [2007] EWCA Civ 503 to add-back jurisprudence, the fragility of company valuations, matrimonialisation of pre-marital assets, and share transfers.

What happens if the Child Maintenance Service has determined that a non-resident parent is required to pay child maintenance to the parent-with-care, but payments are also being made towards the mortgage secured on the property in which PWC still lives with the qualifying child/children? Does it matter if the property is jointly owned by NRP and PWC? Will those mortgage payments reduce the amount of child maintenance?
