New poll shows political policies out of step with needs of families
A new YouGov poll published today reveals just how out of step political parties are with the realities of family life and breakdown in modern Britain.
The poll found that almost three quarters of people don’t think unhappily married couples should stay together because of the children, and over two-thirds believe that couples should be able to divorce without blaming each other.
Code of practice
Our Code of Practice is the cornerstone of our work. It promotes an approach to family law that is sensitive, constructive, cost-effective and most likely to result in an agreement. Our Guides to Good Practice show how the Code should be applied in real situations.
