Divorce settlement is potential result of a couple’s fight? (5,8)
I believe the answer is:
split decision
'result of a couple's fight?' is the definition.
'split decision' can be an answer for 'result' (split decision is a kind of result). I am not certain of the 'of a couple's fight?' bit.
'divorce settlement is potential' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'divorce' could be 'split' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'split' is found in the answer.
'is' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for split decision that I've seen is " Majority verdict".)
