  Court overturns ruling that forced businessman to pay for ex-wife's 'poor' investments

  The Supreme Court today overturned a judgement which had ordered a businessman to increase maintenance to his former wife more than a decade after their divorce. Graham Mills was told by the Court of Appeal last year to increase monthly maintenance payments to ex-wife Maria from £1,100 per month to £1,441 for life after she lost cash in “unwise” property investments and was “unable to meet her basic needs”. The UK’s highest court backed him today and reverted the payments back to £1,100.
