For attorneys, mediators, and therapists
What Divorcery does for your clients between appointments, where it stops, and why it is built to route people toward you rather than around you.
Divorcery is an app for people going through a divorce. It has two parts: a checklist of everything the process actually involves, filtered to the client's state and circumstances, and an AI coach that answers questions about it.
If you work with divorcing clients, the first thing you want to know is where it stops. So that goes first.
Where it stops
It does not give legal advice, and it says so plainly and often. Not once in a footer, but in the Terms, in the app, on a dedicated page explaining what the coach is and is not, and in the coach's own answers.
It does not predict outcomes. No estimates of what a client might receive, no assessment of whether a settlement is fair, no opinion on their position. Those are precisely the questions we route to you.
The coach is instructed to defer to you, by design. Its operating instructions require it to name the right professional rather than substitute for one, and the routing is aware of whether the client actually has counsel:
- Client has retained an attorney → the coach says "your attorney," and points at them directly when they are in the client's contacts
- Client is in mediation → the coach notes the mediator is a neutral, and for anything involving signing or waiving rights, points to the client's own advising attorney
- Client is self-filing → their court's self-help center
- Client has consulted nobody → this is the moment a consultation earns its cost
That last line is a fair summary of the product's editorial position. Our own guides argue repeatedly that one informed hour before negotiating is the cheapest thing available in a divorce, that a consultation is not a commitment to litigate, and that mediating unadvised against a represented spouse is a bad idea. You can read what we tell people about first meetings and about mediation and judge for yourself.
What your client brings to the appointment
The practical case is simple: your time stops going to administration.
A client using Divorcery is likely to arrive having already gathered tax returns, pay stubs, account statements, and debt records, and having made a summary of what exists rather than a folder of PDFs. They will have a factual timeline of the marriage, with the dates that matter for residency, separation, and asset characterization. They will know the vocabulary, so petitioner, discovery, QDRO, and equitable distribution do not need explaining from scratch. They will have written down what they actually want, in plain language, which turns "I want what's fair" into priorities you can work with. And they will have some sense of the shape of the process, so your explanation lands on prepared ground.
None of that makes them a lawyer. It means the hour you bill goes to judgment rather than to catching up.
There is a straightforward reason for this emphasis. When the meter is running, people ration their questions. They walk in having already decided what is worth asking about, and the things that get cut are usually the ones they could not name precisely enough to feel confident spending the money on. Those are often exactly the things that could have been looked up beforehand. Divorcery exists to make that hour count, not to replace it.
For therapists and divorce coaches
The pitch is different and, we think, recognizable.
Clients bring logistics into sessions because there is nowhere else to put them. The paperwork, the deadlines, the question of what to do next week. That crowds out the work you are actually there for.
Divorcery gives the logistics a home. It also, deliberately, does not try to be therapy: the coach is instructed not to treat ordinary grief as a clinical matter, and it names a therapist as the right professional when distress is persistent rather than momentary. If a client is not safe, it stops offering process advice and surfaces crisis resources instead.
Our co-founder's account of her own divorce is that there were therapists, books, and support groups, plenty of help processing how she felt, and nobody answering the simpler question of what to do next. This is the answer to that question, not a competitor to yours.
Tell us where we are wrong
We have around twenty guides covering process options, decree provisions, parenting plans, mediation, and finances. They are written carefully and checked against sources, and they are not written by lawyers.
If you find something inaccurate or misleading, we would genuinely rather hear it than not. We correct things, and we would rather be corrected by someone who does this for a living than by a reader who acted on it.
If you would want to be findable
We are thinking about how Divorcery might connect people with professionals in their own state, and we would like to know who would want to be part of that.
If that is you, say so when you write and we will keep you posted as it takes shape. We have not built anything yet, and anything we do build will follow the rules that govern your profession, not ours.
