Rootschat was brought to my attention by a member (Brian1968).  I found the site difficult to begin with but after some advice from other members I soon became proficient.  I seem to get more pleasure by helping other people with their research requests than I do with my own.

Found whilst surfing for geneaolgy sites.
Felt guilty at first at getting someone else do my research, but now love the way I can help others as well as get help when I am really stuck.
Find rootschat people the friendliest and most helpful on the net.

I'm  already there My husband says ours could be the first divorce where the internet is cited as co-respondent, I hope he's joking!
Does RC fund solicitors?

That didn't take long, Janet!!  ;D ;D ;D

Only thing I can suggest is getting another computer and encouraging your husband to get interested in something on the Net!  That way, you might stave off divorce a while longer!  (No solicitors, I'm afraid!!)
