> For the divorce itself. Just do it online. This is the first I've heard of applying for a divorce online. It's certainly not an option here. Florida does offer a 2-page, simplified, uncontested divorce option. Unfortunately our county wouldn't hear of it. My wife and I submitted our completed 2 pages to the clerk. They presented us with a 50 page financial pack (at .50/page) that had to be completed in it's entirety, notarized and submitted for review (and accompanying fee). The wife had $0 in assets (being homeless). I had about the same. And it didn't matter. She has since disappeared. I heard she was in CO but that was last year.

The whole process in the UK has been hugely simplified by the combination of no fault divorce, and separating the ending of the marriage from the financial and child cases. That is what makes the online process work so easily. It means if you do not have a lot of assets you can settle financial things between you informally, or you can make an agreement and ask the court to make it binding. We did not have much in the way of assets and I (the higher earner) was going to take care of the child I just gave her a some money when she moved out and we left it at that. NO case over who the child would live with either (as it was pretty obvious).
