Divorcing couples will be required to attend a mediation awareness session before going to court under new protocols outlined by the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) yesterday (24 February). From April this year, separating spouses planning to contest the terms of their divorce in court will first be required to consider mediation, in an effort to remove the backlog of cases and reduce court costs. The move will mirror the system already in place for separating couples granted legal aid.
