No Fault Divorce came into force on the 6th April 2022.
Under the new legislation, you can divorce without having to blame your spouse. Previously, parties could only apply for a Divorce if they were able to prove to the Court that their marriage has irretrievably broken down by establishing one of five specific facts. Under the previous system, unless you had been separated for two years and you had both agreed to get divorced, one of you had to effectively blame the other for your marriage having broken down.
