Divorce Hotel Coming to New York?

Divorce highlighted
Divorce Hotel, a Dutch service assisting couples in breaking up with their partner during a hotel stay, is proposed coming to the U.S.

Jim Halfens, the concept’s 33-year-old founder who has run the business out of 20 Netherlands hotels given that it launched last year, is in negotiation with more than a few New York and Los Angeles hotels.

The program, which offers speedy divorces that are ‘fully arranged for by a squad of professionals in a solitary long weekend’ charges couples a flat fee of somewhere between £2000 and £6500.

How did the divorce hotel idea arise?

Jim Halfens got the idea after supporting his friend going through an unbearable 5-month divorce. He is now negotiating with a few hotels in New York, LA, and other American cities where people are desperate enough to get divorced on-camera and in a hotel, to bring the service to the United States. Several manufacture companies are also hearing bids, and the show is predictable to air in the fall.
