How Divii works with Legal Advice

A practical way to work with lawyers

Divii is designed to help you and your spouse complete the early, preparatory work of separation together. This includes gathering and organizing information, understanding how the law generally works in British Columbia, reviewing calculations and scenarios, and creating a clear first draft of your separation agreement.

By the time you speak with a lawyer, you have a complete, organized package: your information, your decisions, and a draft agreement that reflects your actual situation. This gives your lawyer the context they need to provide advice that is specific, grounded, and useful.

Where lawyers fit in

Lawyers are an important part of the separation process, especially when it comes to assessing fairness, identifying risks, and helping you understand the agreement you are entering into.

Divii allows you to use legal advice strategically. Instead of paying a lawyer to gather information, explain basic legal concepts, run calculations, or draft from scratch, you can focus your legal time on what lawyers do best: applying their expertise to your specific circumstances and advising you before you sign.

This often reduces the amount of time needed with a lawyer, while still ensuring you receive individualized advice and professional guidance.

A few important things to know

Divii provides guided legal information, calculations, and drafting tools, but it is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. The agreement created reflects the information you enter and the decisions you make.

Separation agreements are legally binding, so independent legal advice is strongly recommended before finalizing anything.

Divii is designed for use in British Columbia.
