A recent Court of Appeal ruling in Kenya has clarified that divorce property division will now be based on proven individual contributions rather than an automatic 50-50 split.

• The court determined that assets acquired during marriage are not necessarily subject to equal division.
• In a specific appeal, a husband challenged a High Court decision that had divided properties equally with his ex-wife.
• The ruling emphasized that while marriage is a partnership, its legal division relies on demonstrable contributions, be it financial or otherwise, leading to a 60-40 split in favor of the husband in some cases based on greater financial input.
