Property (Relationships) Act 1976, s 1N
"The law relating to the division of relationship property is guided by these general principles:
· men and women have equal status, and their equality should be maintained and enhanced
· all forms of contribution to the relationship are treated as equal. This means non-financial contributions, such as caring for children, are valued equally with financial contributions, such as working for a wage
· a just division of relationship property needs to take into account any economic advantages or disadvantages to a spouse or partner as a result of the relationship or as a result of the ending of the relationship
· relationship property issues should be resolved as inexpensively, simply and quickly as is consistent with justice."
