What is an Online Divorce? And How to Get a Divorce Online.

When you think about the process of divorce, its usual to associate high street solicitors and the courts. That’s unless you or a friend have previously used online divorce services.

Deciding to divorce from your spouse is difficult. And now that you have decided to divorce, you seem to face an endless list of questions and have decisions to make that can carry long-lasting consequences.

Before getting started, some key issues and concepts are important to understand. This article will give you the information you need to know to decide if online divorce is right for you, and what you need to do to divorce online.

What is an online divorce?

Online divorce services are for couples who are looking for an uncontested divorce. An uncontested divorce means that both individuals agree on the decision to end the marriage and the reasons why they want to end the marriage. 

Couples who cannot agree on these terms are not eligible to divorce online and will need to use the services of an expensive high street solicitor. 

Not only is a contested divorce expensive, but it is time-consuming and emotionally harmful to couples, their children and close friends and family. It is for these reasons that Easy Online Divorce encourages couples to work with us to help them agree to an uncontested divorce.

Instead of visiting a solicitor and getting charged upwards of £180 per hour, Easy Online Divorce can get your divorce papers completed almost effortlessly within 24 hours and without you even needing to leave your home.

The problem with traditional solicitors

The traditional solicitor takes seeks a win / lose approach to divorce trying to negotiate the best deal for you, their client. The problem is that your spouse also instructs a solicitor to do the same. Two parties both seeking to win at all costs increases conflict, which increases the need for more of the solicitor’s services.
