One 83-year-old man recently found out the hard way that breaching a divorce settlement can result in a jail sentence rather than a financial penalty which has often been applied to such cases in the past.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The man from Bristol was a multimillionaire who had reached a divorce settlement totalling more the 3 million with his ex-wife. The sum was awarded following a disputed divorce case which had\u00a0 continued for more than seven years and involved several court appearances in that time to reach settlements on a number of issues.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The length of the case may well have been an aggravating factor which led to a prison sentence being imposed when it was found that the individual had breached the divorce settlement. Even so, the case should serve as a further warning that judges are prepared to impose more severe sentences following similar outcomes in other divorce cases involving breaches of settlements.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sentences imposed recently have totalled six months in prison which can far outweigh any financial gain from attempting to delay and avoid paying settlements.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
