Traditional Divorce Vs. Digital Divorce

We are forever being told that the internet is simplifying many different aspects of our lives, but it has now been taken to a new extreme. We have heard of online dating, but it is now possible to obtain an online divorce.

Internet pioneers have discovered that there is a gap in the market for digital divorce companies.  Current traditional divorce options can turn into a financially and emotionally draining battle that can drag on for many years. New internet services can grant you and your ex-partner a divorce at the click of a button, but is this a good or bad a thing?

The Traditional Divorce

After years of marriage turmoil, it is likely that both you and your partner will know it is the end of the road. So the next step for you is to apply for a traditional divorce.

Working Together
To get your official divorce, it is likely you will both have to work with one another to come to many different decisions. Speaking to each other through the divorce process can be difficult, but it can also offer you both some sort of reconciliation or closure. This closure can help you both move on and have new found respect for one another – this is extremely important especially when you have children between you.

Learning to get on with each other is essential when you have children, and this is something that can happen when going through a traditional divorce.

Help and Guidance
For some broken up couples, the help and guidance they receive through the divorce process is the assistance they need to build their marriage back up. Although not that common, some couples find the inner love they once felt for each other when they were happily married during the divorce process. This encourages some divorcing couples to give up on the divorce process and instead work on fixing their marriage.

An Impossible Divorce
For some couples, their marriage may be so broken, working together to finalise their divorce may be simply impossible. For those who have been betrayed, hurt and abused in their married life, a 6 month trial to finalise their divorce may feel like a life time.

The Digital Divorce

For those couples keeping up with the latest trends, a digital divorce may be the answer for you.

Fast and Friendly
Digital divorce services often use a six step process to finalise a divorce. This six step process is quite alike to a traditional process; however it is thought to be much simpler. Different life aspects will be considered in the divorce including;

• Parenting agreements
• Financial agreements

This will ensure that both parties are happy with the agreements and terms the divorce is based on. For those couples that find it too difficult to face one another, a fast and friendly digital divorce is the answer.

No Time for Reconciliation
Some troubled couples sometimes find themselves rushing to the hasty decision of obtaining a divorce, only later to regret the choice they have made. Going through a traditional divorce will give applicants the time to realise the mistakes they have made and to discuss whether their marriage may have a future again.

Going through a digital divorce removes the chance for reconciliation, meaning many couples may end up regretting their decision for divorce.

The Choice is Yours

It is impossible for anyone else to decide what type of divorce you should apply for, this decision should be made by you and your partner. For some couples, a digital divorce may make much more sense, however it will not be the answer to everyone’s problems.

Take your time when you think about applying for a divorce to ensure you are doing the correct thing.
