Start with a zero-cost divorce coordinator (really)
What is a Divorce Coordinator?
A Separate Ways divorce coordinator is your personal guide through the divorce process — someone who takes the time to understand your situation and helps connect you with the right vetted divorce attorney and trusted professionals for your specific needs. Think of it as having a knowledgeable concierge by your side to help simplify the process, reduce stress, and point you in the right direction from the very beginning.
Before hiring an attorney on your own, schedule a confidential call with one of our experienced divorce coordinators. We’ll help you understand your options, connect you with the right attorney for your situation, and help make the divorce process as smooth, affordable, and manageable as possible.
How Can the Coordinator Be Free?
When we connect you with a divorce attorney who is a good fit for your situation, that attorney pays Separate Ways a fee for the introduction. In many cases, a portion of that fee is passed back to the client through discounted services, preferred pricing, or added value opportunities.
In other words, Separate Ways helps guide you to a trusted, top-tier divorce attorney who fits your unique needs while also helping make the process more affordable whenever possible.
The referral partnerships we maintain with attorneys and other vetted professionals help support and sustain the Separate Ways platform, allowing us to continue providing free coordination, guidance, and support to individuals and families navigating divorce.
We Start by Understanding Your Situation
Before recommending anyone, our experienced divorce coordinators take the time to learn about your situation, including:
Parenting and custody concerns
Financial considerations
Home ownership and shared assets
Your goals for the divorce process
Your preferred communication and conflict style
Future plans for your family and financial stability
This allows us to connect you with the right attorney who truly fits your needs.
We Connect You With Carefully Vetted Attorneys
Every attorney in the Separate Ways network has gone through a vetting and onboarding process focused on:
Professionalism
Communication
Client experience
Ethics and reputation
Case-type experience
Attorneys in our network display the Separate Ways Attorney Badge, showing they have been reviewed as part of our trusted referral network.
We Help You Avoid Unnecessary Costs and Stress
Not every divorce requires aggressive litigation or high hourly billing. In many situations, the best outcome comes from having the right strategy and the right attorney from the start.
We Save You Money
Avoid overspending on unnecessary legal services
Reduce delays and confusion
Make informed decisions early in the process
Remember: your children don’t need to witness conflict.

Real estate professionals experienced with divorce-related home sales
Mortgage and refinance specialists
Financial and wealth planning guidance
Insurance professionals
Family and individual counseling resources
Everything is designed to help you stay organized, supported, and moving forward with confidence, all while at a reduced cost to you.
Choose The Right
For Your Situation
Having the right divorce attorney may be one of the most important decisions you make during the divorce process — yet for most people, it’s hard to know where to begin. When emotions are high and answers feel urgent, many people simply call the first attorney they find online or use a lawyer someone recommended to them years ago. Sometimes that works, but many times, it leads to unnecessary stress, higher costs, and an attorney who may not be the right fit for their specific situation. Having someone who can understand your situation before you start the process of finding the right attorney can help make all the difference between a drawn-out divorce and a quick and easy divorce.
The reality is that every divorce is different; this is why Separate Ways works hard behind the scenes to carefully vet experienced local divorce attorneys based on professionalism, communication, client experience, and the types of cases they handle best. Our goal is to match you with an attorney who best fits your situation, goals, and comfort level — not simply hand you off to a random attorney.
When you speak with a Separate Ways divorce coordinator, we take the time to learn about your situation in detail. From there, we help coordinate an introduction with an in-network attorney we believe is best suited for your needs. After your initial attorney consultation, we also follow up to ensure you feel comfortable and confident as you move forward.
Before contacting an attorney on your own, schedule a free, confidential call with one of our experienced divorce coordinators. We’re here to help you make informed decisions, avoid unnecessary stress, and connect you with the right attorney for your specific situation.

FAQs About Finding The Right Divorce Attorney
How do I know which divorce attorney is right for my situation?
Every divorce is different. Factors like children, assets, business ownership, debt, and the level of conflict can all influence what type of attorney is the best fit. We help you understand your options before you make a decision.
Why shouldn’t I just hire the first attorney I find online?
The attorney with the best marketing or highest search ranking isn’t always the best match for your specific circumstances. Finding an attorney whose experience aligns with your goals can make a significant difference in your case.
What if my divorce is uncontested?
If both parties generally agree on the major issues, you may not need a highly aggressive litigation-focused attorney. We can help you identify attorneys who are experienced with cooperative and uncontested divorces.
What if my divorce involves child custody disputes?
Child custody matters often require attorneys with substantial family law and custody experience. We can help point you toward attorneys who regularly handle complex parenting and custody cases.
Does speaking with you create an attorney-client relationship?
No. We are not your attorney and do not provide legal advice. Our goal is to help you better understand your options and connect with attorneys who may be a good fit for your situation.
What information should I have ready before our I start?
It’s helpful to know basic details about your marriage, children, assets, debts, and any immediate concerns. Don’t worry if you don’t have everything prepared— we can still help guide the conversation.
