Property Rights

Home / My husband and I are divorcing. He has hardly taken holiday from work over the last few years and I know he was thinking of getting a sizeable amount of money for this instead and leaving the company to set up his own business . If we divorce, am I entitled to any of this ?

Yes ! Employment – related benefits either spouse has from their work are regarded as marital or joint property. Untaken holiday is a marital asset along with the more familiar ones like pension rights and redundancy pay. In principle a wife is entitled to half of the equivalent, updated value of accumulated untaken holiday relating to the period they lived together as a married couple.
