Description
This work is the product of two research studies "Special Procedure" financed by the Joseph Rowntree Memorial Trust, and the "Conciliation in Divorce" project, funded by the Nuffield Foundation. It is based on the findings of social research in order to allow the authors to review the present law and discuss options for future reform. Their focus in this book is on the relationship between the personal experience of the parties and the legal forms of divorce. The authors utilize the "consumer" reaction to law and legal process in order to inform the legal and moral debate. They present their evidence step by step, examining the many legal and procedural pitfalls which the parties may encounter en route to obtaining their decree. This enables them, in their concluding chapter, to present the case for a fundamental reform of divorce law.
