Is it worth chasing someone who runs a 2 man company?

I'm helping someone going through a divorce.
Her husband runs a successful company - it's a 2 man company - it's him and the person he's chosen to leave her for. ?

He has no property in his name 'at this moment in time'. (His elderly father has properties worth millions - that he will get.)

He's got a lavish lifestyle. For example, he's taking his new partner and 3 kids to Dubai on a mega expensive holiday among many other things. His bank statement shows spending of more than £10k a month. (Other bank statements, he hasn't given - yet.)

My worry: 'on paper' he can show he is penniless.
His business might be making £2m a year in profit (just a wild guess) - but 'business' costs (like the need for an expensive sports car on lease), and 'siphoning' money away 'legally' can leave him with zero on paper.

She's left with 2 young kids - that's another matter.

Just wondering if she should continue paying solicitor costs?
He himself, started with a super cheap solicitor... which he has now dumped and is representing himself in all matters.

Would really appreciate views on the above stated.

Thanks.

Full financial disclosure is definitely needed. The income provided via the business is an important consideration. Is it a limited company? Have you looked it up to see what previous years have looked like??

Full business accounts will be required as well as bank statements. He will have to provide 12 months personal bank statements and can be questioned about his spending.

If he is representing himself, she could too but may be wise to look at getting some support. This site has a divorce consultant service that may be helpful.
