In his shoes I would offer her a two-year divorce on modest but fair terms - including of course a clean break and payment of his costs to date - before Parliament messes it all up again!

What do do? Replace judicial divorce with a notice filed with the Registrar of Births, Marriages, [Divorces] and Deaths; to be renamed the Registrar of Life Events. Six weeks after filing the notice you confirm that you still want the divorce; and it is issued.

The courts retain jurisdiction over money; but prenups are made cast-iron and where there is no pre-nup equal division of the significant assets prevails for rich and for poor; sale to be postponed if necessary to protect minor issue during minority. And Part 36 to be applicable to discourage litigation a l'outrance.
