More details

For too long, divorce has been a profit making industry. This industry feeds greed, control, power, friction, psychological emotional financial mental harm, safeguarding risks to children, destroys families and the vulnerable weaker party. Take solicitors out of the equation to stop manipulation of the law and indirect control and power. Make it a public body, where no party has power over the other, both parties are equal by following current legislation enforced by the public body and Court.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We understand you're concerned about the cost of divorce in the UK and want solicitors to be taken 'out of the equation', however as both parties in a divorce have legal rights, and therefore the right to legal representation, it is not clear how you want such rights to be protected under the proposed scheme.

You may wish to sign this petition which calls for a related action: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/557036.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
