No-fault divorce ‘will lead to more broken families’, warns pro-marriage group

from The Christian Institute:

Proposals to radically alter divorce law will create a “conveyor belt” which will be extremely difficult for couples to get off, the Coalition for Marriage has warned.

The pro-marriage group spoke out as the Government’s Divorce, Dissolution and Separation Bill began its Parliamentary stages on Tuesday.

The Ministry of Justice announced the Bill the day after ‘divorce day’ – the Monday following New Year when lawyers reportedly see a spike in couples beginning divorce proceedings.

‘Disaster’

Colin Hart, Chairman of Coalition for Marriage (C4M), said: “Far from helping families to stick together, making separating easier and quicker will lead to more divorces, more broken families and makes a mockery of the Government’s claims to be pro-family.”

He added that C4M had hoped the Government might have dropped the “disastrous legislation”, and that there was still time to withdraw the Bill.

Mr Hart noted: “Lawyers are the only beneficiaries from these plans. Their work will be made much easier, and they’ll be guaranteed to get many more divorce cases.”
