It was reported on Sunday that a law firm has been criticised for offering a ‘cut price divorce’ to couples after Christmas. The firm is offering a divorce for the sum of £400.00.
The Bishop of Oxford branded this “tacky” and said that couples can do without the encouragement of cut price divorce ‘deals'.
At Hart Brown, we consider that this article begs the question, can a client really expect a first class service as part of such a promotion? A promotion of this nature is unlikely to cover anything concerning the finances of the marriage, and any issues relating to children that may need resolving.
The family team at Hart Brown understand that the breakdown of a marriage can be a difficult time for our clients and we do not feel that such promotions instil confidence that the sensitive issues arising from such a breakdown are being dealt with effectively, and that time would be taken to consider clients’ best interests.
Clients may also feel that they are on a ‘conveyor belt’ and that the service that they are receiving is somewhat impersonal, something that we strive to avoid at Hart Brown.
Do you think that such promotions are a good idea? Let us have your views.
