<p>The Government’s consultation was predicated on the clear need for reform to reduce
hostility and conflict between divorcing parents, which leave their mark on children
and damage their life chances. We therefore sought views on how best to achieve this,
not on the case for reform.</p><p>We held a full public consultation over twelve weeks
last year to test our detailed proposals in light of the widest possible range of
views and insights. We have reflected on the points raised in the consultation from
all perspectives, not just from the many individuals and organisations who were supportive.
A YouGov poll on the day we set out our proposals suggested 73% support for removing
blame from the legal process. We have detailed the final results of the consultation
in our response and outlined people’s views on all sides, and we remain grateful to
everyone who responded.</p>
