Question 1

My spouse and I need help figuring out what needs to be decided, working through anything that’s unresolved, and/or turning what we’ve already agreed on into a complete written agreement.

I need to understand my legal rights, options, or what would be reasonable before I make decisions.

I need help getting organized, figuring out my priorities, and creating a plan for how to move forward.

I just know I’m dealing with divorce and need some direction and support.

Right now, what feels like the biggest thing you need help with?

Question 2

We’re on the same page that the divorce is happening, and we’re both willing to work through the next steps together.

We’re on the same page that the divorce is happening, but we haven’t agreed on how to handle the process.

My spouse knows I want to move forward, but I’m not sure whether they’ll participate in mediation or work toward an agreement.

My spouse doesn’t know yet that I want a divorce, or they know but are avoiding the conversation, refusing to participate, or actively resisting moving forward.

Where is your spouse in the process?

Question 3

We agree on most or all of the major issues and mainly need help making sure we’ve covered everything and formalizing the agreement.

We agree on some things, but still have important decisions to work through.

I want us to be able to reach an agreement, but right now I’m not confident we’ll be able to get there.

I don’t know enough yet about my options, my rights, or what would be fair to know what I should agree to.

When you think about the decisions that need to be made, where are you?

Question 4

We need more structure — help identifying what needs to be decided, working through those decisions, and turning our agreements into something complete and workable.

I have legal questions I need answered before I feel comfortable making decisions — for example, what’s fair, what I may be entitled to, or the consequences of different choices.

I feel overwhelmed. I’m not sure what to do first, what information I need, or how to prepare for what comes next.

Money is a major barrier right now — for example, I don’t have access to enough funds to hire professional help, move out, establish a separate household, or take other steps that would help me move forward.

More than one of these feels equally true.

What is making it hardest to move forward right now?

Question 5

We can usually talk about difficult issues and stay reasonably productive.

Conversations can be difficult, but I think we could make progress with structure and a neutral person helping us.

I often feel overwhelmed, reactive, stuck, or unsure how to handle our conversations.

We are barely communicating, or attempts to talk tend to go nowhere.

How would you describe communication between you right now?

Question 6

I feel reasonably informed about my legal options and don’t have major individual legal questions right now.

I have some legal questions, but they aren’t what is keeping me from moving forward.

I have important questions about finances, property, support, parenting, or other legal issues and want to understand my rights or options before making decisions.

I’m being asked to agree to or sign something and I don’t feel confident that I understand the consequences.

How do you feel about the legal side of your divorce?

Question 7

Start moving directly toward an agreement with my spouse, without unnecessary steps, delays, or escalation.

Understand my legal options so I can make informed decisions.

Have a clear plan for what I need to do next and feel better prepared to move forward.

Talk with someone who can help me sort through the different options and figure out where to start.
