Re: division of money from personal injury
the compensation award you have received is I am afraid relevant to the matrimonial financial settlement. That is not to say however that the money must go to your wife. The court will consider the money as an amount available to you for your future maintenance, but should be made aware that it is in effect compensation for your pain and suffering.
It is not possible to take this aspect of your financial affairs in isolation when considering your position. We would be happy to advise further if requested on the proper settlement in your divorce.
