In this episode, Nicky Howarth and Hannah Holdaway unpack divorce statistics in England and Wales and have some good news about the commonly quoted claim that “one in two marriages end in divorce”.

The episode explores why divorce rates have fallen in recent decades, how long marriages typically last and explores the idea of the “seven-year itch”.

Nicky and Hannah cover the the introduction of the no-fault divorce in 2022 and how this has changed the legal process by removing the need to assign blame, helping couples separate more constructively, especially where children are involved.

In this episode, Nicky Howarth, Emma Gordon, and Hannah Holdaway discuss the rapid rise of AI technology and its implications for the legal field, particularly family law.

They explore how AI has become integrated into everyday life and many professional practices but has limitations and risks associated with its use in legal contexts and demonstrate the importance of human expertise in providing legal advice.

The podcast emphasises that while AI can be a useful tool, it it absolutely should not replace qualified legal professionals. Alongside AI’s ability to “hallucinate” facts and even legal proceedings, it lacks the nuanced understanding required for individual cases.
