Change divorce law! Make "no fault" divorce possible.

Petition Details

No one wants to encourage a break up. But if couples talk the D-word, it is because the marriage is over. We need a simpler, administrative process that keeps kids safe and won't break the bank. It needs to help people, so they can put their kids first!

Additional Information

The law says you have to either divorce by waiting 2 years or 5 years OR you have to choose a reason like "adultery" or "unreasonable behaviour" or "desertion".
"Why should it be easy? Kids need their parents to stay together" I hear you say...The trouble is, lawyers get round the divorce law very easily, but at great expense to their clients. Letters about petitions back and forth, outrage at the particulars, common sense out the window. ££££ for lawyers. Madness! Sign the petition to help.
