What is No-Fault Divorce?
No-Fault Divorce
Since 6 April 2022, couples in England and Wales have been able to divorce without assigning blame following the introduction of no-fault divorce. This reform allows marriages and civil partnerships to end without alleging fault by either party, helping to reduce conflict and encourage a more constructive approach to separation.
No-fault divorce represents a significant development in family law, enabling couples to focus on practical matters such as financial arrangements and the wellbeing of any children, rather than attributing blame.
Through Solicitor BG, Elizabeth Bastidas Gerónimo provides independent legal advice on all aspects of divorce, including no-fault divorce, financial settlements, child arrangements, and cross-border family matters involving England and Wales and Spain.
