10. Divorce

For the avoidance of doubt, Part II of the Family Law Act 1996 is being repealed and the old law continues to apply. Divorce consists substantially of box work for district judges. In the case of nullity or a defended divorce, judges are advised to refer to the appropriate text. Rayden is particularly good for immigration points, which should in most instances be referred to the High Court. Judges are also reminded that the Equal Treatment Bench Book gives further guidance on religious marriages.
