Divorcing couples tend to row over seemingly trivial items, lawyers have revealed.
The petty disputes were revealed after research by Manchester law firm Pannone found one in five divorces feature rows over inexpensive possessions.
Even seven-figure separations can be delayed because of disputes about ownership of items worth no more than just a few pounds, they found.
The resulting disputes are so bitter that they end up inflating legal bills far beyond what it would cost to buy replacements, the lawyers said.
