“The worst reconciliation is better than the best divorce” Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra
Can you really get an online divorce?
Well not quite but you can file for an online divorce through various sites and pay for it on your credit card! The reason this has been made available is to help those people who are self representing (around 85% of applicants) improve their access to justice.
The online divorce site still recommends that legal advice is sought and there is a step by step online divorce guide that helps you through the process. There are also provisions on the online divorce sites to select a hearing date too.
It has been reported that the cost of applying for a online divorce is just AUD$432, a considerable do-it-yourself saving!
The online divorce site does not provide any area for property settlement or other family court matters, they are totally separate issues.
Cutting right to the chase and applying for a divorce online impedes any chance of saving a marriage and family unit with no need for counselling or consultation with family law lawyers.
Although couples don’t realise one day out of the blue they want a divorce, apply online and thank you very much I’m now divorced. Much thought, many experiences and processes take place before the final decision is made.
In The Separated Woman's Guide you will read about various approaches to separation and divorce. The initial section explores whether you actually do want to separate from your partner. You can answer questions to find out if it is this path you really want to choose. If your answer is an overwhelming "yes" then the step-by-step guide is easy to follow, easy to reference when you need to and can be a constant companion to support you through the process.
Anyway, back to online divorce process, does it appear that divorcing has now been made much simpler and will it encourage more couples to divorce?
