Divorcing couples ditch solicitors for the internet

With 32,100 divorces happening in the first three months of this year alone, it’s no wonder budget friendly online website DivorceOnline is now representing one in twenty UK divorces

The success of the website comes with its prices. A low-cost DIY divorce costs from just £68 excluding court fees, rather than the extortionate fees taken by solicitors.

Founder of the business, Mark keenan explains the success behind the website: “A typical divorce can be very bitter as every element of the agreement is disputed by both parties, so legal costs can easily spiral out of control. Some solicitors’ bills run into tens of thousands of pounds. When a couple decides there is no chance of reconciliation, we offer a responsible way of minimising further debt. The simplified online process often takes the sting and emotional battle out of the divorce. Provided both parties are in basic agreement over the financial settlement and it is a ‘no-contest divorce.”
