New Mecca for Divorce Hunters

YUCATAN, known as a bolshevik state, has become a popular place for American couples seeking divorce. Several dissatisfied American couples have obtained handy divorces throught the Yucatan courts after living in the state as residents for one month. The fees are fifty dollars for an uncontested divorce and seventy-five dollars for a contested divorce, with twenty-five dollars for the lawyers' fee in each case. After establishing their residence a married couple need only appear before the court and assert that they are unable to agree or live together, and a divorce will be granted without further question, although the support of their children must be shared equally by the parting parents.
