DIY divorce on the net

A new internet-based divorce service has been launched by a law firm is aiming to "revolutionise" divorce in the UK.

Net Lawman Ltd has created a three-tier system which affords users as much or as little advice as the client wants. The service is flexible, with the first tier offering just the necessary forms, the second tier offering the forms and legal advice, and the third tier offering a complete "hand-holding" service.

The DIY divorce service also features an internet chat system where clients can have confidential conversations with a divorce expert, rather than paying for meetings.

Andrew Taylor, Net Lawman director, said: "Many people are inhibited from seeking essential divorce advice on straight forward matters because of cost, time or the sheer inconvenience of finding a parking space.

"The DIY divorce service is staffed by professionals with a vast range of knowledge and experience. By dealing with them over the Internet, we deliver the same service cheaper and without the hassle."

Net Lawman also provides practical advice and can help with the financial aspect of divorce, as well as child-care arrangements.
