Amid the growing history of marriage breakups, a surprising new divorce trend is emerging. Now it is no longer necessary to spend months in court to get a divorce, just a weekend is enough. Jim Hafens, a 33-year-old Dutch businessman, has presented this new business model. The claim is that here you register married on Friday and leave divorced on Sunday.
How does the ‘Divorce Hotel’ work?
You will get the complete divorce package at this unique hotel. A team of lawyers and mediators is waiting for you. Register on Friday, end your marriage, and leave on Sunday with the divorce papers. All this for a flat fee, and yes, this whole process can also be turned into a reality TV show.
Why was a ‘Divorce Hotel’ necessary?
This hotel offers you an environment in which the divorce of couples is facilitated. Instead of going through long and difficult divorce legal paths, an easier path should be provided. The hotel has created an environment and a system that offers legal advice, psychological support and mediation at the same time so that the divorce process can be carried out quickly, calmly and without stress.
Will this ‘Divorce Hotel’ open in more cities?
This hotel is located in the city of Haarlem in the Netherlands. It is also known as ‘The Separation Inn’. This plan has already caused a sensation in the Netherlands. So far, 17 couples have used it, of which 16 have happily signed divorce papers. Now gyms are preparing to take it to American cities, where large hotels such as New York and Los Angeles are being selected for it.
What do American lawyers say about it?
Famous American divorce lawyer Robert S. Cohen says: “This idea is as attractive as it sounds, but it is also not practical.” The time of divorce is very emotional and not everyone can resolve everything in two days. Presenting it as a business and a package is not good at all.
Divorce has become big business.
The divorce industry in the United States has reached $175 billion. Every year 1.2 million people file for divorce. In such a situation, ‘Divorce Hotel’ is going to create a huge stir in this huge market.
