Online divorce seems to becoming the preferred option for web savvy consumers in this recession asDivorce-Online™, the market leader reports a 34% increase in clients since the beginning of 2012 and thatexpansion is on course to continue in 2013 when legal aid is withdrawn for most divorce cases.

The website that helps steer couples through uncontested divorce procedures in England and Wales believesthat as the UK comes out of recession and the withdrawal of legal aid for family cases, the courts will see alarge increase in the number of people filing for divorce themselves, and their service will be ready to takeup those people who cannot afford a lawyer but would have previously been eligible for legal aid.

Lawyers typically charge anything from £500-£1500 for a basic divorce which is simply too expensive forthe average consumer.

Mark Keenan the Managing Director says " The withdrawal of legal aid will mean thousands of people aregoing to either have to pay a lawyer to deal with their divorce, try to deal with it on their own or takeadvantage of our 13 years of experience and low cost service. The increase we have seen in 2012 is just thestart as far as we are concerned and we have already taken on new staff in anticipation of the increase."

Divorce-Online charge a fixed fee of £65 to complete divorce papers and £189 to manage a case toconclusion.
