A new study has found that one in ten people going through a divorce try to turn mutual friends against their partners.

It also said half try to cheat their husband or wife over the financial settlement and seven out of 10 cannot separate their emotions from the process of deciding where their children will live.

The survey by law firm Slater and Gordon comes amid renewed Government efforts to persuade people mired in divorce to swallow their pride and end their marriage amicably.

Seven out of 10 said they ‘could not separate the emotions they felt from the practicalities of resolving financial issues and the residency of their children.’

Around half of those asked said they fought their spouse for more than they knew was a fair share of their money and property.

The same number said they thought their spouse would be trying to get more than was fair, so they decided to ‘fight dirty from day one’.
