Divorce

Getting a divorce in England hasn't changed for many years and the according to this government time has come for a change. The press has talked about no fault divorce and now those plans have been shelved.

Divorce is a legal process to dissolve a marriage after it has irretrievably broken down. Many divorces are amicable and both parties decide a separation is the best all round. However under the present law you must chose one of the facts to base your petition. There are 5 in total 4 of which places blame on the other party and only 1 is by agreement but you have to separate for 2 years first. That is in some cases a long time to put your life on hold.

This is where the idea of a no fault divorce enters the arena where a petition could be issued when there is no one to blame. The idea is sound but it was perhaps the time for change was not quite right. A new idea came to life in which people who wish to divorce must sit through information meetings probably to try and get couples to reconsider. Trials of these meetings were a failure and this is the main reason why no fault divorce has been put on hold. However 1 or 2 changes in the near future will no doubt put no fault divorces on the statute books but will it be a good thing?

Divorce procedure themselves involve court procedure but in many cases neither party has to go to cort and it is all done as a paper exercise

Another fad that has taken the media is the idea of DIY divorce, cutting out the lawyer and ther fee.

This may sound good and , you may say typical, we do not believe this is right.
