What is No-Fault Divorce?

As of April 6, 2022, no-fault divorce became legal in England and Wales. In a no-fault divorce, couples can end their marriages or civil partnerships without blaming each other for failing to maintain their relationship. No-fault divorce is notable for eliminating guilt and blame from the process.

Osbourne Pinner provides advice and guidance concerning all issues relating to divorce, financial settlements, and no-fault divorce. Book a free consultation and speak with a specialist solicitor today.

What was the Old Divorce Law?

The Matrimonial Causes Act of 1973 established one divorce ground: irreversible dissolution of the marriage. Here are the grounds to prove irreversibility:

What is the Process for No-Fault Divorce?

With the new law, divorces are streamlined, and there is no longer an option of contesting them. No-fault divorce also eliminates the necessity of choosing among the five causes of divorce. A no-fault divorce follows the following fundamental changes.

Both or any of the parties to a marriage or civil partnership may request a divorce. The only irreversible breakdown can lead to the dissolution of a marriage.
The applicant must state that the marriage has irreversibly broken down to file for divorce.
Parties can file a combined application with the court.
To grant a divorce, the court must accept the statement as conclusive proof that the marriage has irreversibly broken down.
No party can object to the application.
Divorce begins with a conditional order, called a decree nisi in the past.

The divorcing couple must affirm their desire to proceed with the divorce before a conditional order can be issued.
The confirmation can only be given after at least 20 weeks have passed since the start of the proceedings. This is to provide the applicant or applicants with a chance to reflect on their decision to divorce.
Throughout these 20 weeks, couples should try to agree on child custody and financial settlements.
The conditional order has the option of becoming a final order after a minimum of six weeks.

The practice of No-Fault Divorce

Using no-fault divorce in real life is intended to make divorces easier and more amicable. It will reduce the possibility of costly, contentious court applications by removing the right to challenge procedures.

Divorce becoming less contentious is anticipated to have a lesser impact on children and the rest of the family. Whenever there is little room for personal conflict, couples can concentrate on the financial settlement of a divorce.
