Internet Divorce Not Worth The Paper It's Printed On
from the oops dept
We've had a couple of stories about using the internet to get a divorce, but it seems to be leading to some very questionable operations. A man who (without speaking to his wife about it) filed for a divorce online has been told that he didn't really get a divorce and is now married to two women. Of course, this "internet divorce" seems a bit different then ones we've spoken about in the past. Those are really just providing all the right documentation needed for you to submit through the regular process. This one was a "Mexican internet divorce" where you file the forms on some website in Mexico and they announce you're divorced. It should be pretty obvious to anyone that this is a sham, but the guy still paid $1,500, partly because he thought he could "sneak this by" his wife.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

Well, over the years of practice, Internet divorce services have developed a lot and now they really provide quality services. Everything is fast and timely. I just used the services of https://onlinedivorcer.com and was very pleased. Therefore, I would argue that Internet divorce is a bad idea.
