Legal expenses insurer, Arag, has revealed that it is considering launching divorce insurance in the UK, following a government announcement that almost all Legal Aid for divorce disputes settled by the courts is to end.

Justice Minister, Jonathan Djanogly, has already highlighted the need for insurance to cover divorce-related legal costs, and speaking on BBC Radio 4’s Money Box programme on Saturday, Arag managing director, Tony Buss, said he would be examining the German market over the coming year, where couples can typically buy €30,000 of cover for €100.
