The Overhaul of Family Law: Will there be a fairer end to relationships?

At the end of March, the UK Government launched an initiative to overhaul the family justice system. Why? The law hasn’t kept pace with the realities of modern families, the Government says, leaving many without rights and facing financial hardship. So what does this initiative aim to do? Former president of the family division, Sir Andrew McFarlane explains that its goal is to move away from adversarial hearings to focus on the child and make way for a fairer end to relationships. He and the broadcaster, commentator and family mediator, Joanna Gosling, join us on this week's episode to help us predict the future of family law.
