£56 million Lottery winner forced to pay out ex-wife

[Bulletguy]

Divorcee Nigel Page who won £56 million on the Lottery was threatened with legal action by his ex-wife who wanted a slice.....but had walked out on him for another man ten years ago.

 

Apparently she wanted £8 million but reached an out of Court settlement for £2 million. The case has made legal history whilst undoubtedly cause for much debate.

 

From what i've read and heard on the radio it seems the BIG mistake made was not getting a 'clean break' Divorce.

 

But what do you think? Is it right she should have claim.....or is it wrong?

Yes, one, he'd made an offer to deposit £1 million into a trust for their 13 year old.

 

Instead, the £2 million has gone straight to the ex, if you believe what you read in the papers.

Never believe what I read in the papers. Is it wrong or is it right? Well the courts have decided so it must be equitable. How can you comment on something when you do not have all the facts?>:-)

If you can't comment on something until have all the facts most forums would cease to exist.

Newspapers reported the 9/11 attack in 2001, the invasion of Iraq in 2003, the 7/7 bomb attacks in London etc etc.........but of course thats all fictional rubbish and nonsense which never happened as you "never believe what I read in the papers". *-)

 

 

Euromillions winner Nigel Page agreed to give his former partner £2m in an out-of-court settlement, after she tried to sue him for four times as much. The money will go to his ex-wife after his offer to put it into a trust fund for their 13-year-old daughter Ella was turned down. Mr Page, who ran a property maintenance business. is also understood to have agreed to increase maintenance payments for his daughter from £150 a month to £2,000.
