She understands that Asian divorces are often not straightforward, for example, there is often mixed funding to purchase properties with extended families without any legal documents setting out any beneficial interests and if the marriage breaks down, they make seek a return of the money which they have contributed. There may be assets or bank accounts oversees which may need to be taken into consideration. Often there are issues when a Dowry has been paid by one party.
