Attorney general
sues divorce site
Wednesday, June '
AUSTIN — The Website offered
quickie, convenient divorces: Neither
party had to appear in a Dominican Re
public court, the marriage could be dis
solved in fewer than three days and it
even took the $1,500 fee in installments.
There was only one problem with
AAA Legal Alternatives' site, Attorney
General John Cornyn said Tuesday.
It's illegal.
Cornyn on Tuesday sued Tom Hill
and his company in Travis County Dis
trict Court, claiming Hill falsely adver
tised through his Website from Sep
tember 1997 to January 1999 that he was
able to obtain quick divorces for United
States residents in the Caribbean nation.
Fees for a "Dominican celebrity di
vorce" ranged from $650 to $1,595 de
pending on how quickly the customer
wanted the divorce and whether both
parties agreed to the procedure.
Hill even offered a "layaway divorce
plan," which allowed customers to pay
in installments and receive the service
once the final installment was made.
Hill said he could get divorcesinai
few as three days from the day her^
ceived the paperwork and payment.!!
also said no one had to appear in court
"However, according to thelawsoi
the Dominican Republic, non-residert
foreigners are not eligible for unilatet-
al divorces in the Dominican Republic
And if a consumer wants a muhn
consent divorce, one of the divorce
spouses has to make a personal ap
pearance in the Dominican Court
These are facts Hill does not disclose,
the attorney general's petition said.
Many customers never receivedi
vorce papers or other verificationoftl*
divorce and no evidence exists toshoi
Hill even attempted to end the mar
riages, according to court documents
"It does not matter if fraudute
businesses use the phone, mailortk
Internet for their scams. Thosewk
deceive Texas consumers will bepui
ished," Cornvn said.
War waged over

WESTMINSTER, Calif. (AP) — A
proposed war memorial depicting an
American and a South Vietnamese sol
dier standing side by side has become
a symbol of division in Westminster's
’Little Saigon, the largest Vietnamese
community outside of Vietnam.
City officials and residents are fight

the 10-foot bronze statue should be
erected and who
should get credit for it.
