Divorce by Signing a Document

Question
Is a divorce considered valid if someone signs a divorce document without uttering the word 'talaq'?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: Divorce occurs by writing just as it does by verbal declaration, and signing the written document of divorce constitutes acceptance of it, thus divorce takes place if that is intended. And God knows best.
