A public consultation on proposed changes to divorce legislation on the Island will close next week.
Last month Daphne Caine MHK for Garff launched the consultation, which outlines a draft Bill called ‘Divorce, Dissolution and Separation (Isle of Man) Bill.
It aims to implement a simpler administrative process to obtain a divorce, dissolution of civil partnership or judicial separation in place of the detailed judicial scrutiny which is associated with the fault-based process currently used on the Island.
The public has until 2nd January to take part.
Legislative Council Member Jane Poole-Wilson supports the Bill:
