论英国引入“无过错离婚”之改革

On the Reform of Introduction of No-fault Divorce in the United Kingdom

英国司法部发布了改革离婚法律制度的咨询文件,引发英国对离婚法发展的新探讨。英国现行混合破裂主义原则以婚姻无可挽回的破裂作为离婚法定理由,但规定了五种法定事由,部分包括过错要件。该制度加剧了矛盾,不利于当事人在儿童抚养等方面的后续合作,引发政府、社会各界、各党派关于引入无过错离婚制度的呼吁。在数字化离婚系统运行、调解信息评估会议制度适用的新时代,如何引入无过错离婚、构建合理的通知制度以保障彻底破裂主义原则指导下的离婚程序的运行,是英国离婚法发展的新探讨,也体现了英国家庭法的发展方向。

The UK Ministry of Justice issued a consultation paper on reforming the legal system for divorce,which triggered a new discussion on the development of divorce law in the UK.The current mixed broken principle in Britain is irreparably broken as a legal ground for divorce.However,five facts are listed,and some include fault elements.The system has aggravated contradictions and it is not conducive to the follow-up cooperation of the parties in child support,etc.,which has triggered demands to introduce a system of no-fault divorce from the government,all sectors of society and various parties.In the new era of the operation of digital divorce system as well as mediation information and assessment meetings,how to introduce no-fault divorce and construct a reasonable notification system to guarantee the operation of the divorce procedure under the guidance of the principle of complete rupture is a new discussion on the divorce law in the UK.It also reflects the developmental direction of British family law.
