Divorce ‘cool-off’ period urged

The BBC:

The report – titled Every Family Matters – urges that estranged husbands and wives should be required by law undergo a three-month period before launching divorce proceedings to reflect on their marriage and examine the possibility of reconciliation.

It suggests a range of measures to reform family law and “save saveable marriages”, including tax breaks to promote marriage and reversing Labour proposals to offer rights to unmarried cohabiting couples.

I can understand the cool off period but only if both parties give the okay. They may have tried that on their own so the last thing they may need is government  telling them to do it again.

For others it could be a three  year cooling off period and it still would not work.

The hope was that spouses who were living apart while waiting out the statutory period would come to the realization that they did not want to be apart and would reconcile.
