A HOSPITAL consultant who ‘washed his hands’ of his family has been ordered to hand his former-wife his every penny in an ‘extraordinary’ 100 per cent divorce ruling.

Anaesthetist Dr Essam Aly, 54, left wife Enas in 2011, moved to Bahrain and has not paid any maintenance or child support to support his children since 2012.

Out of the reach of the Child Support Agency and British courts, it was feared the ‘serial defaulter’ would never again pay to support her or their two kids.

So to ensure that the children and the wife, 46, would be secure, a family court judge ordered that the family’s entire £550,000 fortune should go to the wife.

Court of Appeal judges have now upheld the payout, which has been described as ‘an extraordinary departure from equality’.
