In what is likely to be one of the most expensive divorce cases of recent times, Silicon Valley power couple Mark Pincus and Alison Gelb Pincus are getting divorced.

A woman from Coleraine in Northern Ireland has won a landmark appeal in a case involving her late partner’s pension. After being denied a ‘survivor’s pension’ as she wasn’t married to her partner despite living with him for a decade, the Supreme Court has now upheld her appeal. Tracey Miller, Liverpool family law expert, looks into what happened.

Hollywood actress Scarlett Johansson has reportedly filed for divorce from her husband of two years, Romain Dauriac. The couple announced in January that they actually split up in the summer of last year, but it’s taken until now for the separation to be formalised in the form of legal paperwork.

In a controversial case, a man has been ordered to increase the monthly sums he pays to his ex-wife as part of a divorce settlement because she has lost the bulk of her money following a series of “poor financial decisions”.

Many couples battle over assets when they get divorced, including properties, businesses and even the family pet. However, a recent story published in the Telegraph has revealed that a high-profile couple are fighting it out in the courts for one very important piece of paper – a ticket for a £160,000 trip into space.
