A recent Court of Session decision confirms that there is no fixed test for setting aside a divorce decree. Instead, the court will consider all the circumstances and will only reopen a divorce where doing so is necessary in the interests of justice.


Cohabiting couples in Scotland have limited and uncertain legal protection on separation, making disputes complex, costly and unpredictable. Cohabitation agreements offer a clear and practical way to manage financial arrangements, reduce risk and avoid litigation.
