Law Firm Offers Free Divorces

A firm of solicitors located in the south west of England are utilising unusual methods in order attract new customers; offer them a free divorce. Follett Stock Solicitors, who have offices in Devon and Cornwall, have advertised their free divorce service – available to all customers who sign up before the 30th June – on flyers, its website and twitter. Predictably, religious leaders have heavily criticised the firm’s actions with Father Robin Eastoe, rector of the Heavitree team of churches in Exeter and Devon, arguing that the offer and its deadline is encouraging more couples to separate. Father Eastoe told the Daily Mail: “It [divorce] should be a couple's own decision made at their own pace. Saying 'come on do it quickly as it's free' puts an awful lot of pressure on people at a sensitive time when they are hurting. Putting a time limit on it is definitely putting pressure on people to make a snap decision. In the interests of society, we should put as much effort as possible to strengthening marriage.” The firm’s associate partner, Rebecca Gurgul, defended Follett Stock’s actions stating that the offer of a free divorce was designed to assist people in need, specifically those who wanted to divorce their spouse but could not afford to do so. Miss Gurgul further stated: “We don't think marriage is insignificant but a lot of people going through a divorce struggle with the cost of it all”. The free service that Follett Stock is offering is limited, however, and it does not include provisions offered by online competitors such as courier collection and delivery of important documents, enhanced customer support and dedicated case managers. Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is! style="border:0;" />
