Terms of Service
Effective date: May 23, 2026.
You are reading the rules that govern divorcerelieflaw.com. We built this website to provide clarity during a highly volatile time. Divorce carries heavy financial and emotional weight. We want you to understand the legal process. We also need to protect our practice and set clear boundaries regarding how you use our published materials.
Using this site means you agree to these terms.
If you disagree with any part of this agreement, you must leave the site immediately. Accessing our guides, reading our FAQs, and downloading our checklists binds you to the rules outlined below.
Not Legal Advice
We publish legal information. We do not provide legal advice through this website. Reading an article about alimony calculations or child custody statutes does not substitute for customized legal counsel. Every divorce involves unique financial footprints, specific family dynamics, and distinct jurisdictional rules. General articles cannot address your specific reality.
This is for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. Consult a licensed attorney.
Statutes update. Precedents shift. Judges issue new rulings. We work hard to keep our asset division and spousal support guides accurate. We cannot guarantee every page reflects the absolute latest legislative update. You must verify facts with your own retained counsel before making decisions that impact your family or your finances.
Relying solely on internet research during a divorce invites disaster. The burden of proof rests on you in court. A blog post cannot cross-examine a witness or file a motion on your behalf.
No Attorney-Client Relationship
Sending us an email does not hire us. Submitting a contact form does not make us your lawyers.
We read incoming inquiries. We respond to cases that fit our practice areas. Reaching out through our website does not create an attorney-client relationship. Do not send confidential financial documents, tax returns, or sensitive communications through our general contact forms. We must clear conflicts of interest before we can legally review your private evidence.
Privilege only attaches after we both sign a formal retainer agreement and you pay the required fee. Until that moment, you represent yourself.
Intellectual Property
We write our own material. Years of courtroom experience dictate what we publish. The articles, divorce checklists, and FAQs on divorcerelieflaw.com belong entirely to us.
We hold the copyright to all text, site design, and original graphics. You cannot scrape our content. You cannot copy our equitable distribution guides and paste them on your own law firm’s site. You can link to our articles. You can quote brief excerpts if you provide clear, direct attribution and a link back to the original page. You cannot reproduce our work for commercial gain.
We monitor the web for copyright infringement. We enforce our rights aggressively.
Limitation of Liability
You use this information at your own risk.
Divorce litigation involves inherent uncertainty. Opposing counsel acts unpredictably. Judges interpret the law differently based on the specific facts presented in their courtroom. If you misinterpret an article on our site and make a poor decision during mediation, we are not liable for your outcome. We exclude all liability for damages arising from your use of divorcerelieflaw.com.
This exclusion covers direct, indirect, incidental, and consequential damages. A bad settlement agreement signed because you misunderstood a concept on this website remains your responsibility.
We provide this website on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We make no warranties regarding the uninterrupted availability of the site or the absolute error-free nature of the content. Technical glitches happen. Servers go down. We do not guarantee continuous access to our resources.
Third-Party Links
We regularly link to external resources. State court websites. Child support calculators. Financial planning tools. We include these links to help you find primary sources and useful utilities quickly.
We do not control those external sites. We take no responsibility for their accuracy, their privacy practices, or their security protocols. Clicking a link to a third-party site means you leave our jurisdiction and enter theirs. Evaluate their terms independently before entering your personal data into their forms.
User Conduct
We expect basic digital respect. You agree not to interfere with the security features of this website. You will not attempt to gain unauthorized access to our servers. You will not use automated scripts to harvest email addresses or phone numbers from our directory for spam purposes.
You will not submit false information through our intake forms. Wasting our administrative time prevents us from helping people who actually need legal representation.
Violating these basic rules results in immediate blocking of your IP address. We report malicious activity to the appropriate authorities.
Governing Law
These terms follow the laws of the jurisdiction where our primary office operates. Any disputes regarding your use of this website fall under our local courts. By using this site, you consent to this jurisdiction and venue.
We litigate where we practice.
Changes to These Terms
The digital environment shifts. We adjust our terms to match.
We reserve the right to modify these Terms of Service at any time. When we make significant changes, we update the effective date at the top of this page. We do not send individual emails announcing policy tweaks. It remains your responsibility to review this page periodically. Your continued use of divorcerelieflaw.com after changes are published constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms.
Contacting Us
Questions about these terms require clear answers. If you need clarification on our policies, you can reach out through our official contact page. We handle administrative inquiries during standard business hours. Expect a response to policy questions within three business days.
