  • No cross examination for domestic violence victims

    No cross examination for domestic violence victims

    Mr Justice Hayden, a High Court judge, has said he will refuse to allow alleged domestic abusers to cross examine their victims in any future hearings he oversees.

    The Judge said he found it ‘extremely disturbing’ that a father appearing in person was able to question his former partner and mother to their 11-year- old son. The father was said to have threatened to kill his wife and was prone to violence.

    The victim was allowed to be cross examined by video link and was also granted permission to sit with her back to the video screen.

    One of the biggest divorce settlements in English legal history…

    A former London oil and gas trader has been ordered to pay his estranged British wife £453 million pounds in one of the biggest divorce settlements in English legal history.

    The man made his fortune in Russia’s energy sector, selling shares in a Russian company he set up for $1.37 billion in 2012.

    The woman, originally from Eastern Europe was a housewife throughout the marriage, became a British citizen in 2000.

  • Pre-nuptial agreement at heart of Presley divorce

    A court has ordered Elvis Presley’s daughter Lisa Marie Presley to pay $10,000 a month for five months of her estranged husband Michael Lockwood’s legal expenses as she divorces him.

    A point of contention is the couple’s 2007 post-nuptial agreement.

    Lockwood was demanding that a post-nuptial agreement that the two had signed in 2007 should be torn up. He said that he had been coerced into signing it. The document said neither party should have a claim on the assets of the other in the event of the marriage breaking down.

    Presley claims nearly all of her $300 million fortune is gone and that she has to pay for two nannies to go along as monitors when her husband visits the children.

    Presley and Lockwood were married in January 2006 and Presley filed for divorce from him in June 2016.
