In my view the other cases, so far as the financial provisions are concerned, can be dealt with after decree nisi.
Many housing departments demand a decree nisi before they will transfer a tenancy to a wife who is leaving her husband.
It should not be stopped during the time she has a divorce decree nisi.
It deals with the abolition of the decree nisi.
Under the present law financial and property orders are made after a decree nisi but are not carried into effect until after the decree absolute.
It has been argued that decree nisi makes no difference to a woman's status as a married woman, and that marriage allowance should not stop.
Their financial situation and all the rest of it can be gone into after the decree nisi, as it now is.
I want to guard against the effect of the decree nisi being made absolute automatically reducing that income.
