Two key bills which have a major impact on family law face an uncertain future given the recent prorogation of Parliament. Both the Divorce, Dissolution and Separation Bill and the Domestic Abuse Bill have been halted due to lack of parliamentary time. <\/p>\n
As reported in the Law Gazette, both of the bills were a result of extensive cross-party work and follow years of campaigning for reform. As there was no cross-over motion pre-prorogation then if the Government brings the bills back the process may have to start from scratch in the next parliament.<\/p>\n
A glimmer of hope comes from the Leader of the House of Commons, Jacob Rees-Mogg who has stated that the Domestic Abuse Bill is \u201clikely\u201d to be a feature in the new parliamentary session. <\/p>\n
He heavily hinted that it will feature with in the Queen\u2019s Speech, saying: \u201cI can\u2019t tell you what is precisely going to be in the Queen\u2019s Speech but I think I can give a steer that it\u2019d be a great surprise to all of us if this Bill was not revived very quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n
