Divorce Dictionary
Every specialist area needs its own nomenclature, but it is useless if, as is regularly the case, no one but the author(s) understands it. The purpose of this page is to set out some of the more common terms, phrases and words used when discussing divorce. The list is not complete, and we will add to it over time.
