Will ‘No-fault divorce’ law bring an end to the blame game?
2022 will be a historic year in family law with England and Wales’ new ‘No-Fault Divorce’ law coming into effect this spring. Described by the Law Society as “bringing UK divorce law into the 21st century,” the new law is being welcomed as a huge step forward and yet many people do not know what the changes will mean. Senior associate in our Family Law department, Leah Thomas, explains why this development represents such a huge landmark for separating couples, and looks ahead to other changes we can expect to see introduced in family law this year.
