Discount + Divorce = Better?
Feb 27th, 2009 by Adrienne Keith
The main premise of SplitsvilleNews.com is that there is life after divorce. I suppose it’s a little like the notion “You can get there, we can help”.
However, a Canadian attorney has seen such hurdles for couples seeking divorce in Ontario that he decided to help in a virtual way. 
Robert Berman’s site MyOntarioDivorce.com is his solution to the complicated forms, uncooperative court staff and expense of legal counsel that he saw plaguing divorcing couples in his area. Berman’s site is intended as a resource to help those couples actually get divorced, rather than give up because it’s too complex.
As with the 60 Minute Divorce I wrote about, it depends on your situation as to whether this online, form-generating site is a fit. Berman himself admits that using the site isn’t a substitute for seeing a lawyer. (Amen!) However, knowing that it takes a divorce to have a life after divorce, I will guardedly express my opinion that there are some instances where a discount divorce can be better than no divorce at all.
