K v K (Ancillary Relief): 1990

H drank excessively and was unemployed. In the divorce he made an application for ancillary relief against the offer from W to share the proceeds of sale of the house equally.
Held: H was homeless and unemployed. His behaviour was such as should be taken into account, but his needs required provision of a sum which might enable him to get a home, and he was to receive more than 50% of the proceeds of sale.
