It is encouraging to note that fewer couples are now citing adultery as grounds for divorce, as shown by the recent figures from the Office for National Statistics. Adultery was cited in 9,205 divorces in 2018, down from 20,765 in 2008 and 36,310 in 1998.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
It is encouraging because adultery petitions are often filed when there is a heightened level of animosity between the parties and make it more difficult for the parties to progress the divorce, and their related financial matters, amicably.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
We are, of course, all waiting for the Government to change the law so that parties can obtain a \u2018no fault\u2019 divorce. This will save parties from the upsetting process of having to place blame on each other just to progress their divorce, even when not doing so would be their preference, reducing conflict so that the parties can move forward as amicably as possible.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
