Divorce has taken its credence nowadays, but Conservative think tanks are eyeing to save marriages through the compulsory three –month “cooling off” period. So, no matter how anticipated you are in getting divorce, it will be more ideal if you sit down, discuss things with your spouse, and reflect on the impact of divorce to you and your family before nudging down the papers.
Ex-Tory leader Iain Duncan Smith said that young people have “incredibly high expectations” of marriage, but settlement and reconciliation between couples have become unachievable (probably for so many reasons).
The report, Every Family Matters, encourages estranged husbands and wives to allow three-month period of reconciliation before going through divorce proceedings. This could spearhead to peaceful arrangement and reconciliation, wherein either or both the spouse weigh the financial and emotional burden of divorce.
The report also raises points on several measures to amend family law; this will include the “tax breaks” and labor proposals. It also proposes the establishment of family networks and marriage counseling centers. These programs were drafted from the Australian programme that encourages couples to undergo marriage counseling. Smith said, "It's ironic really, given the nature of family breakdown around them, they have this incredibly high expectation of it. And so the idea of compromise from day one, two living as cheaply as one, seems to have disappeared.” |
