The Government is wilfully ignoring public opposition to its changes to divorce law across England and Wales, which would see the introduction of ‘no reason’ divorce.
80% of those who responded to the public consultation do not agree with the Government’s proposal to replace the ‘five facts’ system with a ‘notification’ process, while a mere 17% were in favour.
Under the changes, if one spouse wants to divorce, they will be able to do so in six months and their spouse, who made what they regarded as a serious ‘till death us do part’ commitment, will have no rights to contest this at all. Only 15% were in favour of this proposal while 83% disagreed with it.
