Where spouses separated 15 years ago and subsequently the matrimonial home was transferred into the sole name of the spouse who was the primary carer of the children, with the other spouse retaining a charge registered against the property for 50% of the equity at the time of transfer, would the court still consider the former matrimonial home to be matrimonial property after the date of transfer or would it be a non-matrimonial asset so that any increase in its value would be treated as a post-separation accrual? The parties are now divorced but do not have a financial order.

The rationale for this is that the matrimonial home has a unique place within the parties’ relationship (Miller v Miller; McFarlane v McFarlane). It has been held that a matrimonial home is matrimonial property whatever its source (S v S (Non-Matrimonial Property: Conduct)), but this may...
