There鈥檚 been a rise in the number of divorces according to the Office for National Statistics along with predictions that even more couples will split as a result of the coronavirus crisis.

Many law firms are reporting huge spikes in the number of separations during the pandemic.

Plans for new 鈥渘o fault鈥� divorce rules are due to come in in the next few months and will abolish the need to blame one of the parties when pursuing a divorce.

But what happens to the finances during all of this? What if a couple weren鈥檛 married or owned some assets before the marriage?

Presenter Louise Cooper will be joined by:

Rhona Adams, partner at Morton Fraser and head of the family law team
Claire Gordon, family law partner at Farrer & Co
Michael Royce, senior policy and propositions manager at the Money and Pensions Service
