Meet the Founder

I'm Rebecca Alleyne. I am a Family Lawyer, Family Law Mediator, and now CEO of Divii.  Through my practice as a family lawyer, I watched families go through separation and divorce and, in doing so, exhaust themselves emotionally and financially. The adversarial process is very expensive and time consuming and it can destroy families because of increased animosity and stress. I didn't like the role I had as a lawyer because I often felt that I was perpetuating that animosity and furthering a destructive process.
 
The reality is that parents must continue to talk about their children’s medical appointments, attend soccer games, and sit beside one another years down the road at their child’s graduation ceremony.  Those without children are often also be motivated to maintain an amicable relationship so that they can move forward peacefully.  Any separation process should be able to fairly deal with the legal issues, but in a way that supports and empowers people to transition constructively into the post-separation plan they make for themselves.
​​
After 10 years of practicing as a regular family lawyer, I quit my job at the downtown family law firm I was working for, and I started doing things a bit differently. I started shifting the focus of the separation away from it being a fight and onto it being about a plan to move forward.
 
I started to work on streamlining a process that was efficient and cost effective. Something to lead my clients through their separation quickly, fairly, and affordably and with a high-quality, error-free separation agreement done immediately after that to reflect their decisions. I turned to technology to create the automated tools to systemize the process and provide consistent and predicatable outcomes to my clients.
​
Divii consolidates those tools and empowers people to work through their own separation with purpose and ease.  It should be efficient so that people can move forward out of this stressful transition period and onto living their next chapter.
