Featured in Channel Eye: Jersey’s No-Fault Divorce Reforms

As Cohen Family Law approaches our first anniversary, I spoke to Channel Eye about what’s been a transformative year for the practice, and the major legal changes coming to Jersey family law in 2026.

“It’s the first time in a long time I’ve felt able to really help clients in the way I want to.”

The piece covers our fresh approach to family law and explains the significant divorce law reforms awaiting Royal Assent, which will introduce no-fault divorce to Jersey for the first time since 1949.

Key topics discussed:

  • Cohen Family Law’s human-centred approach to family law
  • The upcoming shift from ‘divorce’ to ‘dissolution’
  • How joint applications will become possible
  • The end of the three-year time bar
  • New powers for interim occupation orders

Read the full feature on Channel Eye to learn more about these historic changes to Jersey family law and what they mean for separating couples.
