Proxy Marriages

According to an article in the New York Times today, Click Here the trend of finding a spouse on the internet has broadened to actually getting married online.  The numbers are significantly growing with this trend in situations where immigration is strong, however, many are marrying online in a fraudulent manner, i.e. trying to marry their relatives to get them to America as immigrants.  A Fayetville, NC company called 'Proxy Now' actually facilitates proxy marriages, so I would assume the trend is becoming significant.  

Some of those couples are trying to circumvent restrictive local laws, like those in Israeland other countries, which recognize mixed-religion marriages but will not perform them, he said. Others who live in different countries seek marriage to pave the way to be together, a first step to attaining a visa or citizenship for a spouse, he said. Couples usually dial in to a ceremony in El Salvador, which has comparatively little red tape surrounding the process.

We actually are seeing a growing number of Divorces in Huntsville coming from couples who have met online.  I have not seen a divorce by proxy yet.  If you need us for your online divorce if your proxy divorce, go to our website.  Go Here
