So, you have been in the relationship for twelve years and it breaks down. Assets at the commencement of the relationship are insignificant as the relationship has been ongoing and genuine for so long. But can the same be said for an inheritance of $300,000.00 that was received by the couple just two years ago? Dekindle thinks not, and its calculation will deal with this inheritance in a different way than it deals with all of the other assets.
Naturally an inheritance will come from one side of the relationship, as would a gift or donation. Dekindle will calculate the distribution of this amount according to the date it was received, and also the number of children involved. It could happen that the relationship received two or even more of these types forms of this gifts / bequests. They will all be dealt with individually, even though they are a part of the combined assets at the end of the relationship.
