The Divorce Reform Act, 1969:
The Divorce Reform Act was introduced in 1969 by the Labour government and the then Prime Minister was Harold
Wilson. It was approved on the 22nd of October 1969 and became a law when it received Royal Assent on the 1st of
January 1971.
The most reported major contributors to divorce were lack of commitment, infidelity, and conflict. Amongst couples, the
most common “final straw” reasons were infidelity, domestic violence, and substance use. The UK faced the highest rates
of divorce during the 1970s (known as the free/hippie decade).
