Gift vouchers come in all possible shapes and sizes to cater to the diverse needs and budget of the users. A law firm in London has come up with a novel theme of  divorce gift vouchers for its clients, which has resulted in a flood gate of enquiries from its clients.  The company offer couples half-hour or hour-long advice sessions with a lawyer and these vouchers seem to appeal to a range of  people. The UK has one of the highest divorce rates in the world with nearly half of all marriages ending in divorce.

The buyers have included husbands, wives, mistresses, and people using them to suggest to friends and family members that they should get a divorce. As expected , this novel scheme has had its share of brickbats as well as it has been criticized for encouraging couples to split rather than resolve their differences. However, the fact is that these vouchers offer clients many practical options available to them and  divorce is only one of the options.
