The number of ‘No Fault’ divorce applications has fallen significantly following the initial surge when the new system came into effect in 2022.
Statistics and Implications
Government figures show that from July to September 2023, there were 27,290 divorce applications, down 12% compared to the same quarter in 2022. The initial surge was likely due to couples waiting for the new system to start divorce proceedings. The figures are now stabilizing.
New Divorce Law
The Divorce, Dissolution and Separation Act 2020 aims to reduce conflict by removing allegations about a spouse’s conduct and allowing couples to end their marriage jointly. The Act requires a minimum of 20 weeks between the start of proceedings and application for a conditional order, providing a period for reflection and cooperation.
Couples still need to resolve financial settlements and child arrangements, which can be complicated and are best handled with the help of a specialist family law solicitor.
