Children and Families Act 2014

Section 17: Repeal of restrictions on divorce and dissolution etc where there are children

150.This section repeals section 41 of the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973 and section 63 of the Civil Partnership Act 2004 which require the court to consider whether it should exercise any of its powers under the Children Act 1989 in proceedings for a decree of divorce, nullity of marriage, or judicial separation or, in relation to a civil partnership, for a dissolution, nullity or separation order. These sections apply where there are children under the age of 16 or where there are children who have reached the age of 16 to whom the court directs that the provisions should apply.

151.Where there are disputes over children or financial issues, the parties are able to make an application under the relevant section of the Children Act 1989 or the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973 (or the Civil Partnership Act 2004 for civil partnerships). Arrangements for children will no longer be scrutinised as part of the divorce process but can instead be resolved through separate proceedings at any time.

152.Subsection (1) repeals the relevant sections of the 1973 and 2004 Acts and subsections (2) to (7) make consequential amendments and repeals in respect of provisions in the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973, the Children Act 1989 and the Civil Partnership Act 2004.

Nodiadau Esboniadol

Testun a grëwyd gan yr adran o’r llywodraeth oedd yn gyfrifol am destun y Ddeddf i esbonio beth mae’r Ddeddf yn ceisio ei wneud ac i wneud y Ddeddf yn hygyrch i ddarllenwyr nad oes ganddynt gymhwyster cyfreithiol. Cyflwynwyd Nodiadau Esboniadol ym 1999 ac maent yn cyd-fynd â phob Deddf Gyhoeddus ac eithrio Deddfau Adfeddiannu, Cronfa Gyfunol, Cyllid a Chyfnerthiad.

Asesiadau Effaith

Impact Assessments generally accompany all UK Government interventions of a regulatory nature that affect the private sector, civil society organisations and public services. They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:

  • Why the government is proposing to intervene;
  • The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
  • How and to what extent new policies may impact on them; and,
  • The estimated costs and benefits of proposed measures.
