DIVORCE MADE SIMPLE BY FACEBOOK!

:)...ok, am actually caught in between, i mean, am wondering, smiling, laughing and then sad!
Is facebook suddenly a blessing or just a curse in disguise? i saw this totally very awe(ing) article...permit the use of that english, on line today and i just coudnt help but bring it on right here.
Now, i will let you guys read it first and then, lets talk about it...


A 39-year-old husband ended his six-year marriage by announcing it on social networking website Facebook, a court heard Friday.

Emma Brady, 35, only found out about her husband Neil's intentions when he changed his Facebook status to read, "Neil Brady has ended his marriage to Emma Brady," and a friend in Denmark called her to ask how she was coping.

The mother-of-one, who works as a conference organiser, was "shell-shocked" by her husband's decision despite the fact that their marriage had had its "ups and downs", magistrates in Blackburn heard.

Neil Brady's lawyer Gareth Price told the court, however, that Emma Brady had not first learnt of the divorce over Facebook, saying their marriage had already become strained.

The details of Neil Brady's decisions were told to the court during sentencing for assaulting his wife at their home in nearby Accrington.

At Christmas last year, the pair had gone on separate nights out and upon returning, an argument broke out, with Neil Brady, an IT consultant, demanding to see his wife's mobile phone.

When she refused, he grabbed her hand, injuring her wrist, and then threw her out of the house.

Neil Brady, who is currently living with his mother, pleaded guilty to the charge and was handed a fine of 580 pounds along with 175 pounds in compensation and legal costs.
