• Get the picture out of your head

  Your Divorce Scope captures your situation once, so you are not reconstructing dates, accounts and concerns from memory during a consultation.

• One place for the whole process

  My Divorce keeps your scope, progress, next steps and attorney-help status together, so you can stop and pick up where you left off.

• Request attorney help when you want it

  Attorney help is something you ask for. Nothing is sent to any attorney unless you request it from inside the app.

• You decide, every time

  You review any options presented to you, put them in your own order, and decide who to speak with and whether to hire anyone at all.
