Times journalist Alexandra Blair investigates the rapid growth in the use
of divorce websites and asks what role these sites play in the process. Do
they replace the need for solicitors and professional counsellors? Or do
they just provide more choices?
"With this website I thee
divorce"What do you think?:
-Has Wikivorce
helped you?
-What other support and services would you like
Wikivorce to provide?
-What changes would you like to see in
family law/legal services?
While the article focuses on Wiki's
resources and support for self-reppers, it is clear that what really
matters is choice and the right services for each person's
circumstances.
Wikivorce is developing into 'one stop shop'
where people can find those services and resources that are right for them.
Depending on your individual situation that could be:
- DIY or Managed divorces
- self representation resources
-
general information and support materials
- government agencies (such
as benefits and CSA)
- charities and support groups
- divorce
coaches and counsellors
- family law solicitors
- other
professional services
But best of all Wikivorce will continue to
add and develop more and more free resources so that people going through a
break-up don't have to go broke in the process.
