Divorce, Dissolution and Separation Act 2020

Lord Falconer of Thoroton Excerpts

Tuesday 13th October 2020 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Scott of Bybrook (Con)]

I assure the noble and learned Baroness that, when the Government look at making these reforms, children will be foremost in their mind.

[Lord Falconer of Thoroton (Lab)]

My Lords, can the Minister tell us what proposals the Government have to ensure that legal advice is available, particularly for those engaged in partnership separation who have children?

[Baroness Scott of Bybrook (Con)]

I will give the same answer as before: children are extremely important. In future, before people look into divorce, all the advice will be online and support will be there.
