ABSTRACT
The general category of chattels may be anything from cars to kitchen tables, and encompasses the whole range of utilitarian items which a family needs to cope with life, but might equally include valuable works of art, family jewellery or other heirlooms, and all sorts of property the ownership and use of which is taken completely for granted until the parties split up, whether or not they are divorcing, and for the first time it is therefore necessary to decide where that item shall be kept and used.
