The fracture, the lawsuit and a death[Edit][]
The early 1990s were released but there are still some flopped singles in 1995, Maywood finally apart. Alice May and Caren Wood started a solo career, separately, however, both without success. In 1997 it seemed just that the sisters would come back together, but so far it proved eventually not to come. Mid november brought Alice Maywood a new self-penned single entitled Rise In The Morning. The song flopped. When Caren got a new relationship and other priorities set went, there was quarrel between the two sisters. In subsequent years it was bickering two regular subject of the tabloid press. Alice married on 20 november 1996 with businessman Rob van Wijk. In February 1996, was officially laid down that only Alice Maywood was allowed to use the name now, but Caren kept itself do not. Therefore flexed Alice in 1999 a lawsuit against Caren to prevent its even longer to use the name Maywood. The Vice President of the Court in Arnhem , Alice May end up in the same.
