For Valentine's Day, North Little Rock law firm offering chance to win free divorce

While some couples use Valentine's Day to get closer, one North Little Rock law firm is offering those who aren't as smitten a chance to split up, free of charge.

Anyone who wants a free, uncontested divorce for themselves or for someone they nominate "who deserves it" in Arkansas can fill out a submission on Wilson & Haubert's website, the firm said.

The prize covers filing and summons fees as well as the usual four hours of billable time, totaling more than $985, "also known as 'priceless' if you need a divorce," the business wrote on Facebook.

If the divorce starts out uncontested and becomes contested — "It's weird how people getting divorced sometimes can't get along," the firm said — only the fees mentioned will be covered, and additional costs will apply.

Applicants must live in Arkansas and "can enter for a friend, lover, spouse, future spouse (think about it before you marry them), cousin, sibling, etc.," the post states.

The contest runs until Feb. 21, and the divorce must be filed by May 21.
