NLJ this week: From roses to regret and back

102824
Falling out and making up again—what happens when a couple get divorced then reconcile? Writing in this week’s NLJ, family law solicitor-advocate and NLJ columnist, David Burrows looks at the legal implications of this rom-com scenario.

Romantic couples now find themselves in less densely-charted legal territory post-2020 Act. However, Burrows is at hand to help.

In this article, he examines the law of rescission (setting aside) of divorce orders in the family court, in relation to divorce and civil partnership after the Divorce, Dissolution and Separation Act 2020. Burrows covers statute and recent caselaw.
