My Own DIY Divorce Website

The financial implications of divorce are no less terrible. And to top it all, the rest of the earth seem to have nothing else to do except talk about your private tragedy. Over the past two decades, a new form of divorce has therefore emerged to ease the pain, expenses and public shame of divorce for couples who want more dignity in their lives at their moment of crisis. This is the DIY (Do It Yourself) divorce.

What is DIY Divorce?

This is a gift from the internet. A legal firm offers all the papers required to fill in for a divorce, along with instructions on filling in the forms for a certain charge. Meanwhile, it processes the papers as submitted by you on your behalf. So the whole divorce process is controlled from the privacy of your home, and no one needs to know about it. As the description shows, this facility is not very useful for those who are having a very complicated divorce lawsuit. But those who are opting for a no faults case and want it solved fast, with the least possible hullabaloo and bloodshed, would not find any better answer to their prayers. Some companies post the package to you while some allow you to download them. Whatever it may be, your divorce should be with consent and ‘amicable’ in order to make the DIY work out.

Features and Services of a Good DIY Website

If I am to start a DIY website myself for making divorce easier for UK couples, I would ensure that it has certain features and offers certain services. Below is a short description of its essential features:

• First, one needs to remember that the visitors are people in need. They have not come to visit a DIY website with the same mentality as they would have while opening a Hollywood gossip website. Therefore, the lay out should be no nonsense and irrelevant pop ups should be totally blocked. The only ads allowed can be of related legal services or of travel companies. Ideally, once the investment is recovered, one should discourage ads entirely.


• The language must be lucid, clear and to the point. It should be supported by a good visual based interface with relevant graphics, so that the site looks good to the eye. One may note that all popular DIY and divorce advice websites have sober graphics, while photographs, if used are ones that should touch the heart. The UK government mediation services website is a case in point.


• There should be an introduction to the company, so that people may trust the site. There should be a comprehensive FAQ section with the facility to search for specific queries.


• The forms should be easily downloadable and in exact order as needed during the divorce procedure. A comprehensive and free guide should be downloadable with it.


• The price, most importantly, must be competitive enough to attract people in the first place. It has to be done according to the services being bought, such as only the forms and the guide, the forms and guide with additional forms like wills and conveyance, the whole package with the facility to go for physical consultancy sessions as well etc. The time taken for the whole process must be the bare minimum required. Speed is of essence here.


• The site should have an SEO link and a blog spot link as well.

• Forms with the free guide are the basic package. Then comes other forms such as wills, conveyance etc, followed by a package with three to five consultancy sessions, and finally one that would be entirely customised according to the need to the client.


• Free telephonic and mail advice should be part of all packages.


• There would be special advisory services on finance management, child guidance and parenting, property management, and moving to a new city. These would be packaged and customised accordingly.


• There should be the provision for clients to change from the DIY mode to a lawsuit if needed with the same firm.
