Woman's Hour Phone-In: No-Fault Divorce

Bbc Radio 4
About this episode

The biggest reform of divorce law for 50 years comes into force today. As ‘no-fault divorce' comes into practice Woman's Hour are opening our phone lines to listen to what YOU have to say on the changes. We want to hear your experiences of ending your marriage and what difference you think these new measures will make? Would this change have made your divorce more amicable? Have you postponed getting divorced waiting for this reform to come into force and have already booked an appointment at the solicitors? Or are you considering divorce and this conversation has made it feel a bit less daunting?

Join our phone-in today.

You can call us on 03700 100 444.

The lines will open at 8am.

Presenter: Emma Barnett Producer: Kirsty Starkey
