Frequently asked questions
It's not uncommon for spouses to have a tense relationship after separation. That's why Divii is designed for you both to input information and refine details separately. You can work together without being together. By separately collaborating on the details and creating your separation agreement, you'll still be able to complete the process quickly and affordably.
Divii is equipped to deal with all situations, including corporations, investment properties, and pensions. The complications often arise in valuing assets or figuring out income. Where you can't agree on what values to use, you can seek the assistance of appraisers, business valuators, accountants, and lawyers to help you find answers, if necessary.
We always recommend taking steps to value assets correctly and understand your options and we've designed our platform to work collaboratively with lawyers.
Divii doesn't replace your lawyer, but it can significantly reduce your legal fees. You can use Divii to streamline your information exchange, negotiations, and agreement drafting and save on hourly billing for these tasks. By entering all your information and answering the simple guided questions, you'll be able to create a full draft separation agreement to review with your lawyer. Our collaborative features allow you to invite your lawyer to review the document, and our full editor will provide all the tools your lawyer needs to add and refine the agreement as they wish.
That's great! If you can have a coffee and work on these things together, you'll get it done quickly and you'll both feel empowered in the process. Input your information, watch our informative videos, have important discussions about your goals, and make decisions together and in real time. It may be the most important conversations you'll ever have.
There are many parts to a separation agreement, and you may be surprised about how many things you may agree on. Exchanging documentation, inputting your information, and answering our simple questions within Divii will produce a finished document to review, and you'll be able to narrow down precisely where you aren't in agreement, which allows you to focus on those issues specifically.
At that point you can book an online mediation session with one of our professional family mediators to discuss the issues that remain unresolved and get some assistance in finding solutions. This way, instead of paying by the hour for the whole process, you only pay for professional help on the tricky discussion points.
Nothing is faster than doing it with Divii. The average length of time it takes to negotiate a separation agreement with lawyers is 2 years! One of the main complaints from those who hire lawyers is that they've spent $20,000 and they still have nothing to show for it.
But with Divii you can have a first draft done in as little as an hour. As long as you have all the information you need about your income, assets, and liabilities, you are ready to create your separation agreement. From there you and your spouse can have it reviewed by a lawyer. If either you or your spouse want any changes, hop into the Editor to easily make the amendments before you sign.
Seeing a lawyer and getting independent legal advice is a choice. We always recommend getting Independent Legal Advice on your agreement because legal advice ensures that you've considered everything and understood your rights.
If you choose not to get legal advice, you can waive your right to it and Divii will produce the right language in your agreement to reflect this choice.
When you're in an abusive relationship, your physical and emotional safety is paramount. You should seek advice about the best path forward for you and consider working with a professional to advocate for you.
Regardless of the dynamic of your relationship, you must exchange information and make decisions about parenting and finances and draft a separation agreement. Divii is designed to help you do these tasks while minimizing interactions between you and your spouse but also still allowing you to save the fees on these steps.
