How Much Does a DIY ( Do It Yourself ) Divorce Cost?

November 18, 2009

I’ve probably mentioned this throughout the site about 50 times, but I feel its really important that people realise the value of getting a DIY divorce package over a normal divorce from a normal solicitor. If your divorce qualifies as being proceed able with a DIY Divorce ( and if you’re not sure, just contact us here at online divorce and we can advise you – free of charge ), then it will cost you just £68, everything included, for your divorce to be processed and made official.

Compare that to a high street solicitor, and you will find that the saving is well over £1000 in most cases. So the next obvious question is why is it so cheap and is it “official”?

Well, we can offer the service so cheaply because it is low cost and efficient to process a DIY divorce. A solicitor would not advise you that you qualify for a DIY divorce, because he would lose money. The fact of the matter is, that an awful lot of divorces could be done as DIY, but unfortunately, couples do not get the correct advice. We pre qualify our customers by asking the right questions at the right time.

In terms of how official it is – I must stress – a divorce done by us is exactly the same as a divorce processed by any law firm in the land. All divorces end up having to be “authorised” by a judge, and that’s what happens with all ours. I would also mention that we now have well over 3000 satisfied customers!!

If you are still unsure, than please do contact us – it could be the best decision you make!

The Difference Between DIY Divorce and Online Divorce DIY Divorce

November 9, 2009

So if the title of this post has not confused you already, congratulations. The idea for this blog post came to me over the weekend when I was reading this article – Divorce Article.  Don’t worry too much about reading the whole thing, i’ll give you the jist of it here.

Basically its saying that in these tough economic times, more and more people are looking to utilise a DIY Divorce service to save money – however, the article argues, this is not always a good solution, as sometimes some basic errors can be made which result in the whole thing becoming actually more expensive – either by way of additional court fee’s or because a DIY Divorce does not automatically deal with ownership of assets etc.

This sums up exactly why I started Online Divorce – you see DIY divorce papers have been around for a while, but they really are full of loopholes, and they are a little tricky to complete properly. Part of the service we offer is making sure all your forms are completed correctly – because we actually do that for you, and making sure that they are served in court in the right way, avoiding a costly court fee and reappearance.

Another reason I started the company is I realised as much as I wanted to spread the good word about the advent of utilising the DIY divorce idea – it was not always right for every situation. We can provide that advice free of charge. Even if the DIY divorce package is not right for you, our managed divorce package might do the job which is still a bargain at just £169.

Its also worth making the differentiation that an online divorce is something different to a plain DIY divorce. A DIY divorce on its own is just filling out the paperwork and getting it processed. An online divorce, through us, means we do everything for you except sign the paperwork.

I hope I made everything a little clearer!! If not, then please do not hesitate to contact us!!!

Is Online Divorce My Best Option?

November 5, 2009

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.

Present at Birth – The Divorce is Your Fault!

October 19, 2009

I had to quickly do a quick blog post about an article I just read on the Daily Express website. Apparently, if as a father, you were at your child birth, you could have inadvertently been the cause if you have been through a divorce – yes, it is your fault!! You might have known!

Far be it from me to argue with medical research and advice, but the theory goes that by being at the birth, you will have caused more stress and distraction to the mother – with doctors even going as far as saying that the prescence of the father can cause a caesarian to be needed.

Back in the 1950’s when the most common form of birth was at home with just the mother and a midwife, apparently births were a lot less stressful because it was something between women, and they understood each other. Add a male into the mix, and it all becomes something a little more complex. Even male doctors are being blamed for some of the problems!

How does this contribute to the divorce part of the equation – well the article is a bit unclear on that front, but I can only assume that the added trauma you as a man cause is unforgivable and leads to long term resentment. Whatever next.

Getting Divorced? Go on a Honeymoon!!!

October 13, 2009

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!
