Mills v Mills [2018] UKSC 38

Spousal maintenance has often been compared in the mainstream media to a 'meal ticket for life' but to what extent does that phrase hide a more widespread misogyny that underpins the way that we think about divorce law? In this episode we examine a case that involves a former wife not spending her money very wisely and then her subsequent request for more money from her ex-husband. This received a lot of attention in the press but we dive into the judgment and get to the real legal issue at stake. Music from bensound.com
