No-Fault Divorce 

Following the introduction of no-fault divorce rules in April the process of divorce can now progress more smoothly as there is no longer the need for either party to assign blame. Previously it was necessary for a divorce to be based on one of the five grounds for divorce. 

These were two years of separation with consent, five years of separation without consent, unreasonable behaviour, adultery and desertion. The reforms were made to reduce confrontation in the divorce process ensuring that the focus can remain on the interests of the children and achieving the best possible outcome for all parties.
