In the current financial climate, many have realised that two single pensions amount to more than one married pension. There are also death duties to be planned for. If they divorce then each person owns half of the house. Any savings can be divided, too. This turns the family into two estates as opposed to the more general, one, where the male is the head of the household and has a bigger estate than the woman.
So if hubby goes, the wife must pay death duties and when she goes, the children have to pay yet again.!! By divorcing, the estate is smaller, for each person and will not attract death duties. Divorce also gets round the seven year rule regarding splitting assets, prior to death. Coffin planning !
