Divorce is just a click away

WARRING British couples are being offered a chance to

divorce with just a few clicks on the Internet. More than 300 couples had downloaded

divorce documents since the service was launched last week by a company called Desktop

Lawyer.

Desktop Lawyer was promoting the 80 Pound service as a

cheap and quick way to obtain an uncontested divorce, compared to going through a firm of

solicitors which would cost around 400 Pounds.

The service begins with a visit to the company's Web site

to answer questions online and Desktop lawyer's Program then drafts all the legal

documents and gets them ready for downloading.

Religious groups reacted furiously to the service saying

that it removed any chances of reconciliation, doing it face to face could also make

people stop and think and also that there was something very impersonal about having to do

it online.
