The Divorce Decision Workbook
You will hold: Your Written Decision Document
Why firms invest

More billable hours on strategy. Faster settlements. More referrals.

Divorce attorneys spend significant intake time doing non-legal work — helping clients figure out what they want from custody, assets, what life looks like after. That work belongs on paper, before you meet. Every tool you deploy can move a client from confusion to a position they can defend.

Billable on strategy
Settlement speed

What you are deploying

A complete client preparation system, delivered on your terms.

Hundreds of titles across workbooks, journals, conversation guides, and card decks. Each title is a structured set of questions built on dozens of clinical approaches and designed to produce a document your client can sign and act on. The questions move clients from confusion to clarity — before they walk into your office.

Interactive audiobook

Hands-free guided experience. Your client listens, pauses, answers, continues. Completable in the car, during a lunch break, while managing bedtime. We remove the obstacles between sending the assignment and getting usable answers back.

Digital fill

Complete any workbook directly in the browser. Answers saved, organized, and ready to export. No printing, no scanning, no lost paperwork. The client works at their own pace, in micro-moments that fit a life already under pressure.

Case management integration

Assign titles and chapters to clients. See what they have chosen to share. Client positions, priorities, and concerns arrive organized and in their own words — before the meeting. The only admin required of you: approve the assignment.

Guided fill

One question at a time, with context and support at each step. You can customize the guided fill experience with your firm's language, your preferred intake categories, in the format that serves your practice.

Print + companion journal

For clients who prefer paper. Every workbook has a print edition. Companion journals extend the work into daily practice — particularly valuable during the 90-day post-decree period. Iris codes allow the client to photograph and digitize their responses.

AI-assisted assignment

Enter your case notes. The system recommends titles and chapters for that client. You approve the assignment with one tap. Your client receives a notification and can begin immediately — while their urgency is still high.

How it fits your practice

Deploy the prep work. We handle everything else.

01

Before the consultation

Deploy your custom client prep workbook or assign the Before the Consultation prep sheet. Your client completes it on their own, at their own pace, through the companion application. You receive key financial facts, timeline events, and primary concerns in the client's own words before you meet. Your first billable hour starts from substance.

02

During the case

Assign structured work between meetings. The Divorce Decision Workbook produces a written decision document — what they want, what they can accept, what they need. The Custody Vision Workbook produces a custody vision statement. The Asset Clarity Workbook produces an asset and liability list by account type. You stop being their therapist. You start being their lawyer.

03

After the papers

After the Papers gives your client a 90-day recovery plan — daily logistics, identity reconstruction, and the structured process of building a life after decree. Your former clients become your best referral source because you gave them something no other attorney did: a plan for what comes next.

Potential Client Journeys

Keisha Williams, 32 — Atlanta

Divorced. Raising Jamal alone. She knows what she wants for custody but cannot separate what she needs legally from what she needs emotionally — and every hour her attorney spends helping her untangle the two is an hour not spent on strategy.

"I know I want full custody. I just can't explain why without crying."

Her attorney assigns The Divorce Decision Workbook and The Custody Vision Workbook before their second meeting. Over six days, Keisha names what she wants — full physical custody, shared legal, specific pickup/dropoff times that protect Jamal's school routine — and why. She separates the grief from the position. She produces a signed Custody Vision Statement: twelve specific provisions she can defend in mediation and a written decision document that lays out her priorities, her concessions, and her limits. The next meeting, she hands both to her attorney and says, "This is what I want. Tell me what's realistic."

For your practice: The workbook turned two meetings of emotional processing into one meeting of legal strategy — and gave Keisha's attorney a client-authored position document that can anchor every negotiation going forward.

Browse the Custody Vision Workbook

David Park, 46 — Los Angeles

His mother has dementia. His sister Susan flies in from Boston four times a year to make pronouncements. David lives ten minutes away and manages everything. Now the estate plan needs updating, and they cannot agree on power of attorney, asset distribution, or even which facility is acceptable.

"She shows up for two days and overrides three months of care decisions. Now she wants to change the trust."

His elder law attorney assigns The Asset Clarity Workbook to both David and Susan independently — every account, every obligation, organized by type, alongside what each sibling values, what each can accept, and where the limits are. David names the pattern: he does the work, Susan makes the decisions. He produces a signed Asset Clarity Document that separates caregiving resentment from legitimate financial priorities. Susan produces hers from Boston. Their attorney now has two written position documents that show where the overlap is — and where it isn't. The mediation takes one session instead of three.

For your practice: The workbook moved the siblings from years of circular resentment to two documents an attorney can compare side by side — turning an emotionally tangled estate dispute into a structured negotiation.

Rosa Martinez, 41 & Beth Donovan, 39 — Denver

Lesbian couple, married four years. Rosa has two children — Sofia, 11, and Diego, 8 — from her first marriage. Beth has no legal standing as a parent, no name on any document, and no authority that survives a separation. Rosa's ex has opinions. They need to formalize Beth's role before something forces the question.

"I've been their parent for four years. Legally, I'm no one."

Their family attorney assigns The Custody Vision Workbook to both Rosa and Beth. Each completes it independently. Rosa names what she needs from Beth as a co-parent — school pickups, medical consent, the daily presence that already exists but has no legal shape. Beth names what she needs — the right to be in the room when decisions are made about children she has raised. They also complete For Co-Parents, because its question sequence applies to any family restructuring: what do you want, what can you accept, and what do you need to protect. Their attorney now has two signed vision statements and a clear map of what both partners need from a stepparent adoption or guardianship agreement.

For your practice: The workbooks gave this couple the language to define a legal relationship that doesn't have a default script — and gave their attorney two documents that make the petition clear, specific, and mutually understood.

A day in your practice

Wednesday with Marcus: five clients, every hour on strategy.

7:45 AM — Marcus opens his case management dashboard with coffee. Three clients completed assigned workbooks overnight. He reads what they chose to share — their positions, their priorities, their limits — in their own words, on their own terms. By the time his first client arrives, he already knows what they want. The meeting starts from strategy.

9:00 AM — Initial consultation. But this client already completed the Before the Consultation prep sheet — key financial facts, timeline of the marriage, primary concerns, all organized. Marcus has the complete picture before the handshake. No twenty minutes of tearful backstory before getting to the legal questions. He spends the full hour on what the client needs legally, because what they need emotionally is already on paper.

10:30 AM — A custody client. She completed The Custody Vision Workbook as an interactive audiobook during her commute. She arrives with a signed vision statement: twelve specific provisions about school, holidays, medical decisions, and daily routines. Marcus spends the meeting refining her legal position, not helping her figure out what she wants. The difference between a sixty-minute strategy session and a sixty-minute processing session is whether the client did the naming work first.

12:15 PM — Over lunch, Marcus opens the AI recommendation panel. Based on his morning case notes, the system suggests The Asset Clarity Workbook for a client entering property division and two specific chapters of The Divorce Decision Workbook for a client who can name what she wants for the house but not for retirement accounts. He approves with one tap. Both clients get a notification this afternoon — relevant material, timed to land while the meeting is still fresh.

1:30 PM — A high-conflict case. Both parties completed The Divorce Decision Workbook independently. Marcus compares the two decision documents side by side. Where the positions overlap, settlement is possible today. Where they diverge, he knows exactly what to prepare for mediation. No guessing. No surprises.

3:00 PM — Post-decree client. The divorce finalized last month. Marcus assigns After the Papers — a 90-day recovery plan that gives his client structure for the transition. This is the part that generates referrals: when someone asks "How did you get through it?" the answer includes Marcus's name and a specific tool she can point to.

Five clients. Every meeting started from a position the client could defend. That's a Wednesday with Purpose Built Press.

The outcome for your practice

More strategy. Faster resolution. More referrals.

Before

Clients arrive confused about what they want. The first meeting is spent processing emotions, untangling fears from priorities, and helping them figure out what they're asking for. You spend billable hours doing work that isn't legal work — and when they leave, their positions are still shaped more by grief than by strategy. Mediation prep takes longer because the client's own goals keep shifting. And referrals are slow, because no one recommends the experience of being confused.

After

Clients arrive with positions they can defend. They have named what they want, what they can accept, and what they need to protect — on paper, in their own words, before the meeting. Your billable hours go to strategy, negotiation, and resolution. Settlements can move faster because both parties have documented positions to compare. And your former clients refer with confidence, because you gave them something they can describe: a process that turned the worst time of their life into decisions they can stand behind.

Important boundaries built into every product

Every title in the catalog is a structured set of questions designed to help people name what they want and where they stand. These are self-knowledge tools, not legal instruments. The document belongs to the client. For clients in acute crisis, use your professional judgment about timing. These are the mechanisms we build into every product:

These are not legal advice
The document is the client's property
Crisis support line on every digital surface
Hard questions are never ambushes
Every question works for everyone
Client controls all privacy and sharing
Discoverability: The workbook document is the client's property. It is not a legal instrument and carries no legal weight in proceedings unless the client introduces it. Consult your jurisdiction's rules on self-generated documents.
Common questions from attorneys
No. These are structured self-knowledge tools — question sets designed to help your client name what they want, what they value, and where their limits are. They do not interpret law, advise on strategy, or replace legal counsel. They produce a document your client owns — a written record of their positions, priorities, and decisions — that you can use as the starting point for legal work. The methodology draws on dozens of clinical approaches to self-knowledge, not legal reasoning.
At intake. The Before the Consultation prep sheet can go out with your engagement letter. The Divorce Decision Workbook and Custody Vision Workbook can be assigned after the initial consultation, when you know the scope of the case. After the Papers can be assigned when the decree is finalized. The earlier your client does the naming work, the more of your time goes to legal strategy instead of emotional processing.
High-conflict cases benefit the most from structured preparation. When emotions run highest, your client's ability to articulate a clear, defensible position matters the most. The Divorce Decision Workbook separates what the client wants from what the client fears — a distinction that can transform a mediation. Both parties completing the workbook independently gives you two documented positions to compare, which can reveal areas of agreement that emotional conversation obscures.
It expands your intake into a complete client preparation experience. Your intake process becomes a custom printed or digital guide that begins with your existing questions and carries your client through the naming work: what they value, what they can accept, and what they need to protect. Answers arrive organized, in the client's own words, and can feed your CRM. Your firm's logo on the cover, your categories, our question methodology. A complete, customized, high-touch experience from the first document your client touches. See the custom client prep workbook above.
Yes. The Firm Program gives you full catalog access, a case management dashboard, AI-assisted title and chapter recommendations based on your case notes, pre-built assignment paths organized by case type, and the ability to build a custom client prep workbook with your firm's branding. The Facilitator Certification (certification opens with the program) includes 4-module training, directory listing, 25% group discount, 20% commission on client purchases, and assignment templates for common case types. The practitioner directory releases Q1 2027. Apply to be a NIF Certified practitioner and your listing can be ready at launch. Affiliate practitioners earn 15-20% commission and give clients a 10% discount.
CRM integration is coming in Q1 2027, starting with Clio, MyCase, and PracticePanther — covering the majority of US family law practices. When your client chooses to share responses, a record can be generated in your system with the fields you configure: intake data, client positions, timeline events, and case-relevant notes. Until then, the case management dashboard and predefined export templates give you full control over how client work flows into your practice.
