How it works, and how it's free
A free divorce concierge, a clear path forward, and no cost to get started.
Separate Ways gives you a free app, a free divorce concierge and a personalized plan for your divorce - funded by the professional network, not by you. Here is exactly how it works, and how we can afford to make the core of it free.
Separate Ways works in any browser today. The iOS and Android apps are on the way.
Separate Ways concierge
Ask a real person
Core concierge support is free. It is administrative and organizational help, not legal advice.
- 01
Create your free account and tell us where things stand
Answer guided Divorce Scope questions about your family, home, property, finances and documents. There is no charge to start.
- 02
Meet your free divorce concierge
A real point of contact who helps you organize the transition and figure out what to do next - not an FAQ page.
- 03
Bring in a professional only when you actually need one
Core concierge support stays free because the professionals in our Trusted Network fund it, not you. You only pay if and when you choose to hire someone.
Core support stays free regardless of which state you're in or how complex your situation is.
How it works
From your first answer to life after the divorce
- 1
Create your free account
Sign up and work through Divorce Scope: guided, plain-language questions about your family, home, property, finances and any documents already filed.
- 2
Meet your free divorce concierge
Your concierge is a real point of contact for coordination and next steps, not a bot or a generic help article.
- 3
Get your plan in My Divorce
Your answers become a personalized My Divorce dashboard: what needs attention, what is done and what is waiting on someone else.
- 4
Review Trusted Network options when you need them
If you want attorney help, request it and review Trusted Attorney options available in your area. You decide who to contact - Separate Ways does not choose for you.
- 5
Keep everything in one place
Documents, property, finances and your attorney-help status stay together in one secure app instead of scattered across email, paper and your memory.
- 6
Keep using it after the divorce is final
Name, account and benefit changes, and other post-divorce follow-through, stay organized in the same workspace.
How is this free?
You don't fund Separate Ways. The professional network does.
Professionals in our vetted network fund your core concierge support - not you.
Attorneys and other professionals who join the Separate Ways Trusted Network pay to be part of it and to connect with clients through Separate Ways. That cost is never passed on to you for using the app or your divorce concierge.
The app and core divorce concierge support are free, full stop. You only ever pay a professional directly if and when you choose to hire them, or if you choose an optional Separate Ways premium service. Requesting attorney help, reviewing Trusted Attorney options or talking with your concierge never costs anything on its own.
This only works because the network is genuinely useful to the professionals in it: Separate Ways connects vetted attorneys and other professionals with people who are ready to talk with them, instead of the professionals spending their own time and money finding clients. That funds the free core product for you.
What the free core product actually gives you
Clarity and control
See your whole situation in one place instead of carrying it in your head.
Professional matching, on your terms
When you ask for attorney help, you review Trusted Attorney options and decide for yourself who to contact.
Document organization
Keep divorce-related documents and records together instead of spread across email, folders and paper.
Real coordination help
A free divorce concierge to help you figure out what comes next, not just a help center.
A plan that's actually yours
Your next steps come from your own recorded situation, not a generic checklist everyone gets.
No cost to start or to use the core service
The app and core divorce concierge support are free. You only pay if and when you choose a professional's services.
Common questions
- Is Separate Ways really free?
- The Separate Ways app and core divorce concierge support are free to use. You only pay if you choose to hire a third-party professional, such as an attorney, or if you choose an optional Separate Ways premium service.
- How does Separate Ways make money if it's free for me?
- Separate Ways is funded by the professionals in its Trusted Network, not by charging you for core support. Attorneys and other professionals who join the network pay to be part of it and to connect with clients through Separate Ways - the cost is never passed on to you for using the app or your concierge.
- Do I have to use an attorney from the Trusted Attorney Network?
- No. Reviewing Trusted Attorney options is entirely optional. If you request attorney help, you review eligible options for your area, put them in your own order and decide for yourself who to contact. You can also work with any attorney outside the network.
- What if I don't want or need a concierge?
- You can use Divorce Scope, My Divorce and the rest of the app on your own. Your divorce concierge is there whenever you want help coordinating a next step, but nothing requires you to use it.
- Is Separate Ways a law firm?
- No. Separate Ways is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice or represent you. It helps you organize your divorce transition, understand next steps and, when you ask for attorney help, review Trusted Attorney options available in your area so you can decide who to contact.
