Divorce – New Year!

• It is no secret that January can be a busy month in Family law with statistically higher divorce Applications. Whether 2022 will see that being the case, remains to be seen but what can be seen, is a new way of proceeding.

• From 6th April 2022 the Divorce, Dissolution and Separation Act 2020 takes effect. This means that couples in a marriage or civil partnership who wish to bring it to an end can do so without having to wait two years, if they do not wish to blame the other. This No Fault divorce has been in the legal background for a couple of years with key family law groups and Resolutions lobbying the government. There has been resistance to introducing this legislation as there was concern that it would be too ‘easy’ to end marriages or civil partnerships and that it would increase the UK divorce law firm rate further.

What Changes?

• The key difference is to the previous grounds, which relied on behavior or having to wait two or five years to convince the court there was grounds to terminate the marriage or civil partnership. A joint application can now be made which is completely different to the previous position. The fact that a joint application can be made is a progressive step to post divorce harmony. Also, The Decree Nisi is no more, it is now a Conditional Order. The Decree Absolute has become a Final Order.
