Letters to the Editor
Dear divorce
Sir, Lady McCartney has inadvertently raised a significant problem which exists for many wives embroiled in divorce proceedings in the High Court in London.
A failure to negotiate is not the sign of a good negotiator. Pressure to settle occurs because of the length of time it takes for proceedings to be heard. Coupled with the change in costs rules, this means there is no pressure on the wealthy party to settle, and a determined litigant can stretch out the case for years. Many wives cannot afford to litigate to that extent, or out of concern that their children will not wait, and thus settle for less. Far from being the divorce capital of the world, for the less wealthy spouse London is to be avoided at all costs.
MARILYN STOWE, Harrogate
