No fault divorce finally comes into force on 6 April 2022.
The key feature of the Act is the ‘no fault’ divorce which will allow married couples to divorce without assigning blame.
Sometimes couples just want to separate without having to sling mud at each other, the old rules offered no other option if they have not been separated for two years or more. The introduction of the ‘no fault’ divorce option will hopefully remove unnecessary acrimony between parties and allow them to focus on the bigger issues upon separation such as finances and children.
