Everything You Need To Know About Changes to Divorce Law

As the No Fault Divorce Law comes into effect today (Wednesday 6th April 2022), our Family Law Paralegal Charlotte Tweed shares her summary on how the changes will affect getting a divorce in the future.

“The Divorce, Dissolution and Separation Act 2020 (DDSA) will reform the law on divorce, dissolution and separation, relating to both marriage and civil partnerships. This will mean that couples considering divorce in the UK will no longer need to prove that either party is at fault or caused the irretrievable breakdown of the marriage or civil partnership. For most couples this will be a positive step in moving away from conflict and the impact that separating may have on any children within the family.”

At Pepperells, we have approachable and friendly experts in all areas of Family Law ready to assist you with your Divorce, Child Contact or Financial Remedy matters. If you are considering separating from your partner or have any questions about how the new No Fault Divorce changes might affect you or your situation, please get in touch.”

Our phone lines are open from 7am and we have a discrete live chat function on the website www.pepperells.com
