One of the most challenging aspects of any separation is deciding who gets what, and how to make those decisions legally binding. Whether it’s the family home, pensions, savings, or other assets, reaching a fair financial settlement is crucial for moving forward with confidence and clarity.
With the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973 – which governs marriage and divorce law in the UK and Wales – now 50 years old, a review has been commissioned. The review is to find out whether this legislation is still useful in helping the Courts and the Judiciary reach fair settlements for divorcing couples – or whether it’s time for an overhaul.
In recent years applications to Court by grandparents have become increasingly common. Sadly, when relationships break down, especially acrimoniously, it often affects who the children can spend time with.
With the family courts facing unrelenting backlogs due to the number of separating couples attempting to reach a settlement in court, in 2023 the government launched a consultation to determine whether mediation should be made compulsory for all ‘suitable low-level’ family court cases.
