Abstract

This chapter starts by tracing the changing laws of divorce over the centuries including up to the Divorce, Dissolution and Separation Act 2020. The chapter then considers the current law on divorce, civil partnership dissolution, and judicial separation, and asks: Why was reform needed? What role does divorce play in our society? What does divorce say about marriage as an institution? Should it be easy to get divorced, or difficult? The chapter uses realistic scenarios to answer these questions.
