LabelLong term married: financial support? Q438
Question text Imagine a married couple who have been together for ten years. One partner had a well-paid job which required frequent moves to new locations at short notice. The other partner had taken up employment whenever possible, albeit lower paid, but had not had a settled career. Say their relationship breaks down. Do you think the lower-paid partner should or should not have a claim for financial provision from the other partner?
