You’ve heard of the Roach Motel – where guests check in but
they never check out… Well, according to MSNBC, at the Divorce Hotel, couples can uncouple in the
easiest way possible. Jim Halfens, a
Dutch entrepreneur, wants to introduce “Divorce Hotel,” a weekend program for
couples seeking a speedy split-up, to the United States.
The American marriage, it seems, is on the rocks. The common
line — true or not — is that half of all marriages in this country end in
divorce. So here comes a plucky
entrepreneur from, of all places, the Netherlands, with a wild,
you’ve-got-to-be-joking plan to profit from the sorry state of so many American
unions.
It’s called Divorce Hotel, and the idea is this: Check in on
Friday, married. Then, with the help of mediators and independent lawyers,
check out on Sunday, divorce papers in hand, all for a flat fee.
And — why not? — toss in some reality TV for good measure.
Unusual as it sounds, the Divorce Hotel concept is up and
running in the Netherlands, where its mastermind, Jim Halfens, is helping
unhappy marrieds divorce en suite....
