Removing blame from divorce will make it easier for separating couples to achieve a settlement

There is a sense of irony, perhaps even comedy, in a situation that sees government Ministers looking to make the process of divorce simpler - at the very time they’re struggling to come to terms with Brexit: the most complex divorce that UK policy makers have ever faced. 

But I applaud the government for its recently declared intention to reform existing divorce laws. By taking the blame out of divorce we can hopefully start to see a shift in attitudes, and a new and single category for divorce that will ameliorate the worst effects of  theadversarial court system.
