Brazil has approved a bill that would allow consensual divorces to be filed and resolved on the internet.The Brazilian Senate's official news agency said the bill would speed up divorce proceedings, allowing couples to split without lawyers or having to wait in line in court.
Couples could file for legal separations and divide property via the internet as well, according to the bill approved by the Senate constitutional commission.
It would have to be approved by the House of Representatives and signed by President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva before becoming law.
The Senate commission also voted in June to eliminate the required year of legal separation before a divorce can be granted.
