I54. The wife's position evolved somewhat subsequent to her open offer and appeared to vacillate somewhat during the hearing. In particular, in a Position Statement dated 11 October 2018, the wife sought a property transfer order with respect to the former matrimonial home or, in the alternative, the payment of a lump sum of £4M. With respect to spousal maintenance the wife sought £100,000 per annum for a period of 15 years. However, during questioning with regard to these changes, the wife also indicated that her revised position was based on her having a property until her eldest child finished his tertiary education, at which point she would "give it back", albeit it had been her hope to keep the house. She returned to this theme in her closing submissions, stating that, as the "single mother of two European Princes", she was simply "asking for a house for her and the children, and some financial support, over a period of 15 years".
Tessy herself seems to suggest the deal to have a home until the boys finish schooling so how is this no unacceptable?
6 months notice is to move to another property right? No just a never ending 6month threat to be homeless. No legal entity is going to agree to someone living in a property for 12 years. What if the house begins to fall down? What if the area the house is in becomes a war zone?
