Can the press publish details about my divorce?

by Conrad Murray — last modified 2007-03-16 08:30

My divorce resulted from my adultery. Will the newspapers be able to attend court and report on it?

Court proceedings concerning divorce are usually private, which means the public and press are not allowed access to the Court papers. However, the press are able to publish that a divorce has been pronounced.

The information they may disclose is very limited, so whilst they may state the reason for the divorce they are not able to publish details of the adultery or unreasonable behaviour.
