This has not come out of the blue but will be a huge blow to many people already struggling financially when their marriage breaks down
Commenting on today's revelations that the MoJ are to hike divorce court fees on Monday, a Resolution spokesperson said "The Government should have waited until the Justice Select Committee, who are currently holding an inquiry into court fees, had published their findings. Instead, the way in which this has been gone about, with no formal consultation or announcement, demonstrates a shocking lack of transparency from government. The manner in which they're implementing this increase, by calling courts today and instructing them to charge more from Monday, is not how a responsible government department should act."
