Hence my number 1 advice for anyone getting divorced in the UK is to make sure you have a financial consent (or "clean break") order in place as part of the divorce proceedings!

Love it.
Woman files for divorce.
Man buys lucky dip hours after divorce is finalised.
Woman thinks she is entitled to half of the winnings because she's wasted 7 years of her (much younger)life.
Up yours bh!

I guess it depends on context and protects both parties. There is also the emotional aspect of a clean cut following divorce.

Of course.

But in many contexts, signing one, especially under pressure from one spouse on the other is a bad idea.

and courts can put them aside.

Its a spectacularly bad idea to sign one without legal advice on both sides, of course, but then again thats why it needs review and approval by the Judge to avoid situations of bullying, coercement etc.

Ultimately though I firmly believe they should be part of the process, with the caveat of being implemented properly. In the poster originally wrote about - are you for or against the ex-wife having a claim on a future lottery win post-divorce?

Why wouldn’t you sign one? In case your ex won the lottery? It works both ways if you happen to win……….
