Course Syllabus
When Your Life Splits in Two
Divorce affects every part of your life simultaneously — legal paperwork, financial accounts, living arrangements, parenting schedules, emotional health. Most people have never navigated anything this complex, and they’re doing it during one of the most stressful periods of their life.
AI can’t make divorce painless. But it can make the process more manageable: organizing the mountain of financial documents, researching your state’s specific laws, helping you draft professional communications when emotions are running high, and preparing you for conversations with attorneys and mediators so every billable hour counts.
What You’ll Learn
This course covers the practical side of divorce and legal separation:
- Legal process: Understand your state’s requirements, timelines, and options (mediation, collaborative, litigation)
- Financial division: Build a complete asset/debt inventory and understand how division works
- Custody planning: Create parenting plans that prioritize children’s stability
- Negotiation: Prepare for mediation with organized positions and proposals
- Communication: Use AI to transform emotional reactions into professional messages
- Rebuilding: Plan your post-divorce financial life — budgets, credit, account separation
Who This Course Is For
- People considering or going through divorce or legal separation
- Those who want to be better prepared for attorney consultations
- Anyone supporting a friend or family member through divorce
- People who’ve already filed but feel overwhelmed by the process
Prerequisites: None. This course is for anyone navigating separation, regardless of legal knowledge.
Important: This course provides organizational and preparation strategies. It is not legal advice. Always consult a licensed attorney for decisions specific to your situation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can AI replace a divorce lawyer?
No. AI helps you organize documents, research your state's laws, prepare for meetings, and draft communications — but it cannot provide legal advice specific to your case. Think of AI as a preparation tool that helps you make better use of attorney time, not a replacement for professional legal counsel.
Is this course only for US divorces?
The legal frameworks referenced are primarily US-based (state filing requirements, community property vs equitable distribution, QDRO), but the organizational strategies — financial inventory, communication management, emotional wellbeing — apply universally regardless of jurisdiction.
What if my divorce involves domestic abuse?
If you're in an abusive situation, contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233) first. Some strategies in this course (like mediation) are not appropriate when there's a power imbalance or safety concern. An attorney experienced in domestic violence cases is essential.
Can my spouse see what I ask AI about our divorce?
AI conversations are generally private to your account, but they're not protected by attorney-client privilege. Avoid sharing sensitive legal strategy details with AI that you wouldn't want disclosed. For privileged communication, work directly with your attorney.
