Is Online Divorce My Best Option?

First of all, let me apologise for the lack of online divorce blog posts recently – I was lucky enough to take a brief vacation. I did intend to blog whilst away, but alas, there was no wireless.

Anyhow, back to business – so while I was away, I got to thinking about the type of couples for whom an online divorce was not only a good option, but actually, is the best option. And by this, I mean, that getting an online separation is actually the best way to get the divorced process as opposed to using a bricks and mortar solicitor.

You’ll see all over this site why we think you should use us, and why maybe a DIY divorce is such a great think – and I stand by all those points, but on a less sales pitch kind of vibe, there are some other, more emotional reasons why online could be the best way.

Here’s what I came up with -

You and your partner are a modern couple, you got together, got married, it didn’t work out – but you’re still great friends, and just want to move on. There’s nothing to contest. Use us – I sincerely mean it. We’ll process the paperwork, take some of the pain out of the process and get you divorced asap. No turmoil, no lengthy trips to a solicitor – etc etc.

This brings me onto the 2nd point – getting divorced is an emotional state as much as it is a legal state. Once divorced, you feel like that part of your life is done and dusted – you move on. Until the papers have been finalised, no matter how dead the relationship is, you may still feel partly married. Crazy but true. So if the proceedings drag on for ages, you may not feel able to date other people, or perhaps feel aggrieved if your partner does date other people. Not a nice place to be.

Getting Divorced? Go on a Honeymoon!!!

Online divorce read an interesting article yesterday about a state in Malaysia that has come up with a novel idea to save its plummeting marriage rate!

Any couple that is having difficulties and are considering getting a divorce have the opportunity to go on a 2nd honeymoon to try and reconcile their differences! There are numerous criteria involved, and the couple have to undergo a fairly stringent interview process to make sure that they are not just “acting” in order to gain the Honeymoon, but if successful, they get the equivalent of a £400 honeymoon to enjoy.

It did get me wondering if actually there was some ground in this. After all, I wonder how many marriages break up because the couple involved are simply under too much pressure and stress, which can cause a breakdown in communication which then causes the breakup? Maybe a short break away would do the world of good.

Unfortunately in the UK we get stuck with marriage counselling – i’m off to find flights to Malaysia!
