Former wife of Screwfix millionaire loses money battle in UK High Court



The ex-wife of a millionaire businessman whose family founded the Screwfix chain lost a High Court battle over company shares, but was awarded more than £1 million ($1.3 million) to cover the cost of raising their children.

James Goddard-Watts and his ex-wife Julia, who divorced in 2010, have been embroiled in a long-running financial feud.

The latest round of that fight has now been adjudicated by a judge.

Earlier this year, Sir Jonathan Cohen heard arguments in the Family Division of the High Court in London.

Judges were told that Mr and Ms Goddard-Watts, both in their 50s, had reached an agreement to end their 13-year marriage in 2010.

Mr Goddard-Watts had agreed to give his ex-wife a house worth £3.25 million and a lump sum of £4 million.

She later complained that he had not disclosed the full extent of his wealth.

A judge then ruled that Mr Goddard-Watts had "made a false presentation" when signing the 2010 agreement, and he was ordered to pay his ex-wife more than £6 million ($7.8 million) in 2016.

The local Mexican authorities said the dead men were probably not from the region’s important tourist destination,  Aquismon . Extensive bruising on the corpses, suggesting they had been beaten, were reportedly visible in photos of the bodies, the report noted. A message made by markers was written on the corpses, warning, “this is what happened to me for working with the Gulf.” The Gulf Cartel, allegedly imports large amounts of cocaine into the United States with distribution reportedly reaching as far north as New York. . . . .  continue reading    SOURCE
