Approving the terms of the settlement, High Court family judge Mr Justice Cobb, sitting in London, said: 'I am perfectly satisfied that it is reasonable, and that the wife is entitled to receive a modest capital award following the breakdown of this marriage.
'The lump sum payment agreed between the parties fairly represents, in my view, a realistic and balanced appraisal of the unusual circumstances of this case.'

Ok. Let's say that's the case. It wasn't disputed that at the point of divorcing both were still all but broke. How many divorce settlements from 'normal', non-wealthy folk have a clause which says, '... but in the event I do sort my life out and earn some money...'?
A financial settlement via the Court should contain a clause that neither party will have further claim on the other.The issue in this case is either a court settlement was obtained but no trace can be found or, more likely, they had little by the way of wealth at divorce and didn't bother with a formal court order.
I dislike that infamous firm of solicitors. They seem to want to prey on the wealthy for their own benefit and I cant help wondering if they seek out willing poor clients and work on a no win no fee basis for that. A council tenant would be unlikely to have the means to pay them anything if they lost.
Not sure I buy the child maintenance bit.
Back in the 1990's if a resident parent received income support then the CSA collected child maintenance from the non-resident parent to reimburse the treasury. His child was born in approx 1983.
So if child maintenance was due it was the responsibility of the CSA to collect it.
Of course the mother here may not have claimed income support.
