The Divorce, Dissolution and Separation Act 2020 introduced the no-fault Divorce on 06 April 2022 meaning neither spouse would ‘take the blame’ for the breakdown of the relationship. Although this has made it easier for individuals to complete their own divorce, it is noticeable that people are neglecting the Financial Order known as the Consent Order. Having no Consent Order means that your estranged partner can make a claim on your estate even after you have divorced. Michael Spoors Solicitors can offer you a free initial consultation to discuss any concerns you may have about your finances going forward in your divorce.
