This makes absolutely no sense to me, in so many ways. Presumably a divorce should be a rare enough occurrence that doing it in person is not a burden?
- jacquesm 12y agoBesides that divorces tend to involve such little details as children and the division of a large amount of property and it should be regarded as a good thing that one spouse can't pressure another into a 'quick and binding divorce' without at least a little bit of outside vetting. Lawyers tend to make divorces harder for everybody and seem to be very good at lining their own pockets so I'm sure there is room for improvement but 'quick and binding online divorces' seem to me to be a dangerous road to go down on. Just like you can't quickly and easily marry online.
- Gygash 12y agoUncommon as they may be, I imagine getting a divorce is currently a complicated, expensive process, even if the couple are in agreement about terms. Sounds like a good pain point to solve, though I have reservations about trying to automate complex legal, financial and emotional decisions like this.
