DivorceWriter Launches Massachusetts Divorce with Same-Sex Option

July 9, 2010 by DivorceWriterPR

 After finally securing the right to marry in Massachusetts, some gay and lesbian couples have discovered that there are plenty of challenges in ending a marriage as well.  Among the more common concerns is how to afford divorce attorneys when their finances are already strained by of the cost of setting up separate residences.  For this reason, many couples, both gay and straight, are turning to do-it-yourself online sites like DivorceWriter, which recently launched its product in Massachusetts.  In addition to providing an inexpensive way to get an uncontested divorce, DivorceWriter has paid particular attention to the needs of same-sex couples who want to end their marriages. 
 
Many self-help services and even some attorneys are still using obsolete Massachusetts divorce forms that indiscriminately use “husband and wife” and “mother and father” regardless of the gender of the spouses.  However, when DivorceWriter launched Massachusetts divorce, close attention was paid to these details.  As Edward Kenny, DivorceWriter’s Director of Online Divorce Products explains “[o]ur online interview for Massachusetts begins with the option to select same-sex divorce so that gay and lesbian couples can avoid the confusion of trying to designate one partner as the husband and one as the wife.  Moreover, our same-sex customers will receive documents containing gender-neutral terms throughout.” 
 
It is this attention to detail that resonates with gay and lesbian couples.  “As the list of states that allow same-sex marriage grows, we will continue to modify our existing products to offer gender-neutral options in those states,” says Kenny.  In the meantime, DivorceWriter offers do-it-yourself uncontested divorce products in 19 states nationwide, including New York, and is looking forward to their upcoming launch in New Jersey.
