In Scotland, financial claims must be made prior to decree of divorce being granted. Decree of divorce terminates the right to make a financial claim. Financial claims on divorce are governed by the Family Law (Scotland) Act 1985. Matrimonial property is classed as “all property belonging to the parties at the date of separation acquired by either of them during the marriage. Property acquired by gift or succession from a third party is excluded. Consequently gifts between spouses are matrimonial property. Any property belonging to parties prior to the marriage remains their own property and is not taken in to account. The exception is where a party buys a house prior to the marriage with a view to using it as a matrimonial home. Where a party sells property acquired before the marriage and uses the funds towards purchasing property during the marriage, whether taken in sole or joint names, that property becomes matrimonial property and is taken into account. The starting point for division of the net matrimonial assets is that matrimonial Handbags for Meru Award winning Scottish handbag designer Mairi Clayton of Pell Mell Leather Goods, a member of Soroptimist International of Paisley, has designed and produced a limited number of handbags using the Soroptimist tartan. These unique bags are not available to buy, but are being raffled in partnership with other Soroptimist clubs to raise funds for the Meru Women’s Garden Project 2016 – 2019 in Kenya. Situated in a largely rural area with HIV/AIDs prevalent in the region, the project will support some of the poorest women-led households in Kenya. It is entirely focused on providing opportunities to women and girls who may never otherwise be given the chance to earn an income, and gives them status within their community. Improved food production and education will support women and girls to transform their lives and those of others through a process of cascade learning and mentoring thereby reducing poverty, improving health and increasing employment. Using an established model, the project will provide seeds, agricultural equipment and relevant technical advice. The women will be trained and mentored throughout and have access to formal and informal agricultural learning opportunities. Soroptimists across the Federation of Great Britain and Ireland have raised £68,124 to date for the project. property should be shared fairly between the parties. Fair sharing does not necessarily mean equal sharing. It may mean unequal sharing if there are special circumstances justifying this. A source of funds argument is one example, i.e. A party owned a house prior to marriage and sold it and used the proceeds to purchase property either in their sole or joint names during the marriage. That party could argue for an unequal share in their favour to take account of this. Financial claims on divorce can be complicated and you should seek advice from a specialist family lawyer, preferably one accredited by the Law society of Scotland as a “specialist.” t: 01505 613340 07731 923970 e: info@advertizer.co.uk

Mental Health Laid Bare A truer and deeper understanding of the challenges of mental ill health was achieved recently as a result of Sinead O’Connor’s brutally real facebook video. Her message focussed on the painful, chaotic, frustrating and enduring struggle of mental ill health. In 1978, RAMH was established in order to overcome misconceptions and stigma around mental health, and to provide professional support to those who need it. At RAMH we recognise people as individuals and empower them to develop a unique, holistic approach to their mental health recovery. This is because it is a more effective and more sustainable way for people to build meaningful and independent lives. If you can, please donate just £3 by texting 70070 with this message: RAMH17 £3 Your support will mean even more people have a chance to achieve their potential and move towards recovery from mental ill health. Please stay safe everyone. If you live in Renfrewshire and need to speak to someone urgently call RAMH First Crisis on 0800 221 8929. If you live outside Renfrewshire contact Breathing Space on 0800 838587 or Samaritans on 116123.
