LONDON — The British government is proposing to introduce “no-fault” divorces and make other changes to make it much easier for married couples to divorce. “When a relationship ends it cannot be right for the law to create or increase conflict between divorcing couples,” he said. Under the proposals, spouses would no longer be able to challenge a divorce application made by their partner. It would no longer be necessary to prove misconduct such as adultery or to live apart for a certain number of years before a couple could divorce. The proposals have provoked a generally positive response from divorce lawyers who said it would reduce conflict between couples at a difficult time.
