Here is an interesting article from The Guardian about a proposed change to divorce laws in the UK.

The government are proposing a 'no-fault divorce rule' to help avoid a potential blame game between divorcing couples. At present, couples are required to prove fault to divorce, such as adultery or unreasonable behaviour. Furthermore, if a divorce is contested and a partner cannot prove fault, a divorce will not granted for five years.

A useful article for the Families and Households unit.
