bThis book considers the impact of insolvency and the claims of creditors on the family. The conflict between the interests of the creditors and the interests of the family is not easy to resolve particularly in the context of a marriage breakdown, bankruptcy, or where claims concern the possession of the family home. The book provides commentary on the existing regime, covering both contentious and non-contentious matters, and acts as a guide for family and insolvency practitioners who already have an understanding of basic procedures but need guidance on the complexities when these two areas come into conflict.Features
- Comprehensive coverage of this rapidly developing area of the law, including the changes and developments effected by the Enterprise Act 2002
- Highlights new questions and problems not previously considered in any depth, including the enforceability of mortgages of the family home against surety spouses, and the impact on family members of application of orders for sale
- Includes statutory extracts, relevant procedural rules and forms, along with practical examples demonstrating when issues such as property values, mortgages, and accounts need to be considered
- A guide for both practitioners and support and welfare groups, working in the field of family breakdown and its financial repercussions
