A fairer end to relationships consultation

Overview

This consultation sets out the Government’s proposals to reform the law governing financial arrangements and protections when relationships end in England and Wales. It brings together three related areas: financial remedies on divorce and dissolution, financial provision for cohabitants on separation and inheritance provision for cohabitants on death.

This consultation is open to the public. We would be particularly interested to hear from academics, family law practitioners, the Family Courts’ judges and magistrates, Parliamentarians, support organisations and members of the public who have an interest in the law regarding cohabiting couples and financial provision on divorce in England and Wales.
