Searching for a divorce attorney on your own is overwhelming. Every ad promises the best representation; every directory lists hundreds of names; every review page tells a slightly different story. Meanwhile, your situation is urgent, personal, and not something you want to explain cold to a stranger on the phone.
Our service exists to solve that problem. You tell us about your matter once, in private. We do the work of identifying a family law attorney whose experience matches your circumstances — so you can skip the shopping and start getting answers.
Attorneys are selected based on your location and the specific issues in your case — not on who paid the highest ad bid.
Requesting a match costs nothing. Any legal fees are arranged directly between you and the attorney you choose.
Most matches reach out within one business day. Urgent situations — including safety matters — are prioritized.
If the attorney isn't the right fit, you walk away. You're never obligated to hire anyone we connect you with.
Divorce is more common than most people realize — and the numbers can help put your own situation in context. Every figure below reflects recent national data.
For most people, the first call with a family law attorney is the hardest step. You don't need to know the law. You don't need to have documents ready. You don't need a plan. You just need to show up and answer honest questions about what's happening in your life.
Here's what a good initial consultation actually looks like, regardless of which attorney you end up working with.
The attorney should spend the first portion of the call understanding your situation — not pitching their services. If they start selling before they've understood, that's a signal.
You should leave the call understanding the likely paths available to you — uncontested filing, mediation, collaborative divorce, or litigation — and the rough cost and timeline of each.
Hourly rates, flat-fee options, retainer amounts, and what happens if the retainer is exhausted. No ambiguity. Most ethical attorneys will put this in writing.
A trustworthy attorney will tell you the weaknesses in your position as well as the strengths. Anyone who promises a specific outcome is a red flag.
The decision to retain an attorney is a significant one. A good lawyer gives you time to think, compare, and decide.
Yes. Requesting an attorney match through our service is completely free. Many participating attorneys also offer a free initial consultation. Any legal fees beyond the initial consultation are established directly between you and the attorney you choose to hire — we do not charge you for the referral.
According to Martindale-Nolo Research, the average divorce in the United States costs approximately $11,300 in legal fees, with a median of $7,000. Uncontested divorces where both spouses agree on all issues can cost under $1,000 in attorney fees. Contested divorces involving custody, alimony, or significant assets commonly range from $15,000 to $23,000 or more. Costs vary widely based on your state, the complexity of your case, and whether it settles or goes to trial.
The average divorce in the US takes about 12 months from filing to final decree. Uncontested divorces often finalize in 2 to 4 months after the state's mandatory waiting period, while divorces that go to trial on one or more issues average 18 months. Most states have a waiting period ranging from 20 days to 6 months before a divorce can be finalized.
While you are legally allowed to represent yourself in a divorce in every US state, even straightforward cases involve binding decisions about property, retirement accounts, debts, parenting rights, and support that can affect you for decades. An attorney helps ensure your agreement is enforceable, tax-efficient, and protective of rights you may not know you have. Consulting an attorney — even just once — is strongly recommended before signing anything.
The CDC recorded approximately 673,000 divorces in the US in 2023, with a national divorce rate of 2.4 per 1,000 people. Roughly 41% of first marriages end in divorce, and about one-third of adults who have ever been married have experienced a divorce, according to Pew Research. Divorce among adults age 50 and older has nearly tripled since 1990 — a trend known as "gray divorce."
In an uncontested divorce, both spouses agree on every major issue — division of property and debts, custody and parenting time, child support, and spousal support. These cases are faster and significantly cheaper. A contested divorce involves disagreement on one or more issues and may require negotiation, mediation, or trial. Approximately 90% of divorces ultimately settle before going to trial.
