Government to create scheme for free divorces for victims of domestic abuse


It takes a lot of willpower and courage for someone to leave their abusive partner and they will often become a one income household potentially leaving them with little money to spare.

When it comes to divorce it may be that the abusive partner would not begin the petition for divorce as they can still possess a level of control over their partner and therefore costs would fall to the victim. If they are not eligible for legal aid they could then incur substantial costs seeking a divorce.
