It is now official….
After lengthy campaigning, a stuttering start when it had to be reintroduced to Parliament after a General Election, then finally a pandemic …. the No Fault Divorce Bill has finally been passed.
Roll on October 2021 …. (hopefully, if not sooner)
This legislation will not make the divorce process any less painless, or less emotional, but it will help to eliminate finger pointing and more importantly blame. Combined, and where there is no option but divorce, it should at least enable marriages to break down more respectfully.
We will bring further updates when we know more about how the legislation will work in practice, but this is a well overdue development. Read more on the GOV.UK website.
