Divorce dissolution and annulment

We are responsible for the law on divorce, dissolution of civil partnership, annulment of marriage or civil partnership, and any division of income and capital following that separation. We look at ways to make the law easier for non-lawyers to understand. We encourage the use of mediation to resolve any disputes, rather than the courts.

Our policies are designed to ensure that when couples divorce, dissolve or annul a marriage or civil partnership, they are given help to do so as painlessly and fairly as possible and in a way that causes the least distress to any children involved.
