Question 1

How is Divii different?

Accepted Answer

Divii is a self-guided, structured online process.  It's for people who want to keep things simple and be efficient.

Unlike free templates provided by the government, Divii offers a guided process to help you actually understand the law and make decisions.  Then it automatically creates a high-quality, lawyer-approved Separation Agreement that will actually pass the scrutiny of your lawyer.  
 
Unlike mediation, Divii does not require you to attend joint sessions or coordinate schedules. You can work through decisions at your own pace, collaboratively but asynchronously.

Unlike hiring lawyers, Divii does not involve adversarial positioning or ongoing hourly billing. Instead, it provides a clear framework to help you reach agreements efficiently, with the option to involve lawyers later for advice or review.

Divii is designed for people who want clarity, structure, and efficiency without all the emotional and financial cost of a traditional legal process.

Question 2

There are lots of templates online for free.  Why would I choose this?

Accepted Answer

Divii is not a fill-in-the-blank template. It is a guided legal platform.

With a template, you choose clauses, interpret legal language, and decide which provisions apply to your situation. That puts the responsibility for legal judgment on you.

Divii works differently because it's helping you understand the law and your legal situation, assisting in gathering and compiling your information, automating calculations and helping you consider different scenarios. You answer structured questions (the same kinds of questions a family lawyer would ask) about your situation, your children, and your finances. Based on your answers, and chosen scenarios, Divii automatically generates the correct clauses, calculations, and legal language for your Separation Agreement.

You do not need to select clauses, make legal judgment calls, or perform calculations yourself. Divii automates the drafting process so the agreement reflects your circumstances clearly and accurately, with the option to obtain independent legal advice once the agreement is complete.

Question 3

Is the Separation Agreement Legally Binding?

Accepted Answer

Yes! When it is properly completed and signed, a separation agreement created with Divii is legally binding.

Divii is designed to help you create a comprehensive separation agreement using legally sound clauses and structured decision-making. Once the agreement is finalized, each of you can choose to obtain independent legal advice before signing, which is strongly recommended. After signing, the agreement is legally enforceable in the same way as any other separation agreement.
Divii does not replace legal advice, but it provides a practical and efficient way to reach an agreement that lawyers can review and finalize.

Question 4

Who should use Divii?

Accepted Answer

We think that Divii is an excellent first step for everyone going through a separation because it does all the heavy lifting to help you understand, gather and compile your information, run scenarios and create a first draft. From there you may need more or less support from a lawyer to ensure a fair result, but using Divii as a information hub will streamline the process overall.

Divii works best for people who want a practical, respectful way to separate and are able to communicate and make decisions. You'll be able to use Divii without the ongoing support of a lawyer if:
you both want to avoid a prolonged legal battle
you are willing to work through issues collaboratively
there are no safety concerns or coercive control

Using Divii on it's own may not be appropriate if there is domestic violence, coercive control, or a significant power imbalance that makes collaborative decision-making unsafe. In those situations, additional legal or community supports are often more appropriate, but Divii can certainly be used in addition and in support of your own legal.

Question 5

How much does Divii cost and what’s included?

Accepted Answer

Divii uses flat-fee pricing, so you know the cost upfront.

We charge by agreement (rather than per person) so you can get started and invite your spouse to collaborate with you with no additional costs.

Your plan includes:
structured guidance through parenting and financial decisions
built-in calculations and prompts
automated agreement drafting - using the same clauses lawyers use themselves
collaborative editing tools

The cost of separation can vary - a lot.  But, with Divii there is no hourly billing and no surprise fees. Pricing depends on the type of agreement you need, and full details are available on the Pricing page.  We'll save you thousands and leave you funds to pay for independent legal advice, when you need it.
