In the wake of legal aid being cut for divorce and family related matters, it is being reported in the media today that a possible way to make financial provision for a divorce should you require one in the future is to take out an insurance policy that covers the cost of a divorce.
The cost of dealing with a divorce and the associated finances can be high if court proceedings are issued to resolve the finances.
It may be that couples will start to look at other methods of resolving finances, divorce and issues relating to children, such as mediation or collaborative law.
Do you think that the government are right to cut the legal aid budget for family cases? Do you think that taking out insurance policies will put pressure on couples? Do you think that preventative measures, such as insurance policies and pre-nuptial agreements are a good thing?
Will such an insurance policy cover all the possible issues that can arise from a divorce, such as children?
Let us hear your views.
