Divorce Laws Outdated to say the Least

Divorce laws in England and Wales are in desperate need of radical reform, Nicola Hesdon, Head of Family Law at Keith Park Solicitors, said today.

Unfortunately, these days in modern Britain, divorce is common.  Although the law in this area has come a long way over the years, couples still have to point the finger of blame, if they are to obtain a successful divorce.  Nicola Hesdon commented “having to have an element of blame often gets in the way of successfully resolving the financial matters upon divorce.  It is extremely outdated”.

Couples who want an immediate divorce have to prove that their spouse has, either behaved unreasonably or committed adultery.  More often than not, this creates animosity.
