I have a friend who bought a property (with mortgage) after separation but before divorce (his fault) and the OH got part of this too; even though the deposit was from a bonus, post separation. I have no idea the reasoning but court ruled, split asset.

It was this mentioned on several UK Solicitor pages, have yet to enquire but interested what results others may have had in same situation

It depends.

Needs trump all. So if there is not enough in the pot to provide a roof over the heads of the children and their primary carer then they will look widely at the assets.

If there is plenty in the pot then non absorbed inheritances , pre owned non absorbed, assets post separation can likely be excluded. Non absorbed being assets that have been kept separate and have not been used to fund / provide the family lifestyle.

Bear in mind there are 2 sides to the post separation assets. You are earning so much you can buy toys which may increase the maintainence.
