  Divorce hotel offers weekend splits
  Jim Halfens, a Netherlands entrepreneur, has developed a Divorce Hotel concept that allows couples to have divorce papers in hand after only a weekend at a hotel.
  According to the New York Times, couples check in to designated five-star hotels on Friday and stay in separate rooms for the weekend. Mediators and independent lawyers attempt to help the couples settle their differences in a hotel suite used for the negotiations.

  The Divorce Hotel is operational in the Netherlands, where 16 of 17 couples who have bought into the process at a cost of US$3500-$10,000 have checked out with all the documentation necessary to obtain court approval.
  Halfens is currently negotiating with hotels in other countries including the UK, Italy, Germany and the US. He's also interested in developing a reality show.
