Katie & Peter to Split? Or is this just more publicity?

Katie Price (Jordan) and Peter Andre are said to be separating after three and a half years of marriage. The couple has two children, Junior three and Princess Tiaamii, nearly two. Katie Price also has another son, Harvey six, from her previous relationship with footballer Dwight Yorke. The couple have spent their married life very much in the spotlight having featured in their own fly-on-the-wall TV show following their relationship since 2007. However, they have now said they want the media to respect their privacy in regard to the breakdown of their marriage. It will be interesting to see whether this is a genuine split for the celebrity couple who married in 2005 or just another publicity stunt!

If they are to go down the divorce route, how will their fortune be divided and where and with whom will the children live? They both had successful and lucrative careers and so had substantial financial assets before they met. However, since they married, they have built up assets jointly which they have both contributed to and this will need to be recognised when deciding how to divide the couple’s fortune, while at the same time paying particular regard to the needs and welfare of their children.
