Nora Lockwood Tooher wrote an article in this week’s LawyersUSA called Breakup.Com. It is about the divorces of people who met on the Internet. She quoted me in the article:
“Chevy Chase, Md. divorce lawyer James Gross has had several clients like this. He speculated that couples who meet online may have shorter courtships – because they feel they already know each other through their online conversations. But in some cases, he said, short courtships can mask differences which lead to major marital conflicts.”
Other divorce lawyers told her that people who meet on line have no more odds of divorce than people who meet in real life. They have a chance to screen people without being affected by physical chemistry that can cloud judgment in real life. “There is something to be said for having your communication sober” said one divorce lawyer.
