The only online divorces I saw were brought to me b/c they did NOT work. That was in the USA however.
When there are children and or real estate, I am hard pressed to see any advantage to an online divorce. YES I know they are cheaper but if you make a mistake on the title or in the agreement, there will be he11 to pay later and you sure won't save ANY money.
To ME, a divorce when there are children and real estate, is like surgery. I don't want an online version; I want a surgeon.
I'm a lawyer myself, but I didn't file on my own. I hired a divorce lawyer b/c I knew that "representing yourself means you have a fool for a client".
If there were NO property issues and NO children and all issues were agreed upon,
sure, then I'd probably get a "Do it yourself divorce." (In my practice I have seen ONE DIY divorce succeed. There were no kids and no real estate and the marriage was only about 2 years).
Otherwise, I think it's penny wise and pound foolish.
But I'm biased and I'm in the US. Maybe it's a whole lot different in the UK.
If you are certain that saving money is worth the increased risk, What would it cost to have a lawyer review whatever you and your wife write up?
Can you pay for a few hours of their time?
