Getting a no-fault Divorce or Civil Partnership Dissolution

No-fault divorce or civil partnership dissolution refers to the changes to UK divorce legislation which were introduced on April 6^th 2022. Under the reformed legislation, couples can obtain a divorce without the requirement to provide a reason for this decision.

Prior to April 6^th, divorcing couples or those ending a civil partnership needed to demonstrate why and how the marriage had broken down, providing one or more ‘reasons’, including desertion, unreasonable behaviour, or adultery. If the couple could not offer a reason for the divorce or dissolution, they could alternatively file for a divorce or dissolution if they had been separated for two years. This option was only available if both parties consented to the divorce or dissolution. If both parties did not consent, a longer separation period of five years was necessary.

The new divorce and dissolution law was introduced to offer couples a smoother and more streamlined divorce and dissolution process while reducing conflict. If you’re looking to get a no-fault divorce or dissolution, our divorce solicitors can provide expert legal advice, and support you through every step of the process.
