How Has Divorce Law Changed Over The Years? The 2021 Divorce, Dissolution and Separation Act is widely accepted as being the most significant change to divorce laws in over 50 years, and some would argue it goes well beyond that. The no-fault divorce instantly removed the concept of blame and finally acknowledged the fact that many divorces are amicable. The act also modernised the language surrounding divorce law, and was the most recent example over the hundreds of years that divorce laws have existed, of the divorce process moving with the times and evolving to match social attitudes, even if many people agreed this particular move was long overdue.
