Divorce benefits are usually given by the husband to his ex-wife. However, the situation could be different if the ex-wife has a larger income. A businesswoman Louise Backstrom with assets of IDR. 4.6 trillion was involved in a dispute with her ex-husband Martin Wennberg when they divorced. Martin wants £40 million worth of money from his ex-wife who is also known as a socialite from Sweden but lives in London. But High Court Deputy Judge in London Leslie Samuels fought back and downplayed the value of his demands. The court then ruled that Louise should provide £6.5 million in alimony or around IDR.119 billion to her ex-husband in accordance with the pre-nuptial agreement.[1]

Not only did Martin get the billions, but he was also entitled to an allowance of £60,000, IDR. 1.1 billion annually for the next six years. Judge Samuels, who oversaw the trial in the Family Division of the High Court of the Royal Court, outlined his conclusions in a written decision declaring that the grades were right to go to Louise's ex-husband.[2]

"In any view, the standard of living enjoyed by this family prior to the breakdown of the marriage was extremely high," Judge Samuels said, as quoted by the Mirror. "The parties enjoy the provision of great value London property, staff, high end holidays, unlimited travel options and overall the very best that can be provided," the judge added.[3] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us then, feel free in 24 hour, we will be happy to assist you.
