When looking at a financial settlement, the court does not attempt to apportion blame for the breakdown of the marriage. Only in extreme cases will the court consider bad behaviour or conduct. Far more important are the respective financial needs of both parties (and of any dependent children) and the capital resources which are available to meet those financial needs.
