So, long story short.
Whilst using my former Ltd Company I decided to make my ex a 25% shareholder.
At the time she was expecting our first child and due to go on extended maternity leave.
She opened a separate bank account (although it was a joint account) and her dividends were then paid in.
She spent them as she saw fit for her own enjoyment. In fact more went in than the dividends proper.....
Now she is claiming that she never knew anything about 'dividends' and demanding that I pay her these.
She was involved in all discussions regarding my gifting her shares etc. but few records were kept.
I've not been able to find any case similar anywhere?
Furthermore she is trying to take me personally to court, not the company. Is that right?
Any opinions appreciated. It all seems dubious to me - but I'm not 100% sure.
