Couples should be allowed to apply for an amiable "no fault divorce" if their marriage has broken down, a Conservative MP has said.
Most family lawyers will agree with this and have been pushing for such a system to be introduced for some time now.
Richard Bacon, the South Norfolk MP, has proposed an amendment to family law which would enable couples to say there was no fault for the break-up, if they both sign a declaration stating that the marriage had broken down "irretrievably."
