CompleteCase.com Brings Online Divorce Service To Canada

Online Service for Uncontested Divorces; Helps Couples Avoid High Legal Fees and Long-Drawn-Out Divorce Process

SEATTLE, WA – August 6, 2002 – CompleteCase.com, the first online divorce service that provides all the tools to file for an uncontested divorce in the U.S., today expanded its services to the Canadian provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Saskatchewan and Yukon.

The online divorce service costs a flat rate of $349 (CAD) and has helped more than 3,000 couples legally part using its simple, automated process available in the U.S. since May 2001. The site walks users through a series of questions customized to the province they live in. With simple and easy to understand explanations of questions and terms such as ‘community property’ and ‘child support’ and providing links to appropriate sections of laws pertaining to each province empowers users to knowledgeably complete their divorce themselves.

“Many couples, either unable to afford an attorney or who do not need one, often find the forms required by each province complex and confusing,” said Randolph Finney, founder of CompleteCase.com and family law attorney. “CompleteCase.com offers a simple and inexpensive alternative enabling users to complete their own divorce documents from the comfort of their home, without incurring the cost of an attorney, or dealing with lengthy completion and delivery periods.”
According to Statistics Canada, over 36 percent of all marriages in Canada end in divorce within 30 years. The average legal cost to prepare legal forms for an uncontested divorce is about $2,000 plus additional court fees.
