Couples in England and Wales will not have to prove one party is at fault to start proceedings.

- which has been passed by the House of Lords - also removes the possibility of contesting the decision to divorce.

The bill also introduces a new option, allowing couples to jointly apply for a divorce, where the decision to separate is a mutual one. He told MPs:"No-one sets out thinking that their marriage is going to end, no-one wants their marriage to break down, none of us are therefore indifferent when a couple's lifelong commitment has sadly deteriorated."Where divorce is inevitable, this bill seeks to make the legal process less painful."

Labour's shadow justice secretary David Lammy says his party welcomed the bill as it offers a"common-sense approach" and respects the institution of marriage and civil partnerships. They said the bill was badly-timed, arguing that many"otherwise durable" marriages were under"intense Covid-related strain".The move to change divorce laws was partly prompted by the case of Tini Owens - a woman from Worcestershire who wanted to divorce her husband of 40 years.

Does this mean I can tell the wife to fk off now? Oh wait, I've just recieved a text. 😆

defundthebbc backed by the public. Other than the left of course, that goes without saying.

Of all the things about the divorce process that needs amending, the petition is the least of it. I hope they look into the very real issues surrounding the process.

Why isn’t this already a thing? It should be for the couple to decide when they get a divorce. Or is church and state still not seperate

Will the man get fair rights to the children also. It’s more than pretty one sided for fathers rights.

Totally agree with this ,me an my 1st wife married young and grew apart, when we went to get divorced we had to make up a story between us and blame each other for silly shit, we got on and still do to this day but I can see how it makes people bitter

Conservatives - the gift that just keeps on giving.

Don't get married Go MGTOW

Of course. Because sacrament of marriage is the last thing holding the world together.

Marriage is a contract. A shame it has been turned in to a throw away commodity by the state.

This is what they are discussing?
