Walk into your attorney meeting calm, confident, and in control
Most people walk into their first meeting anxiously trying to remember timelines, details, and documents on the spot. That stress gets expensive fast. At $300–$500/hour, 3–5 hours of intake is $1,000–$2,500 gone before any real legal work begins.
Divorce Diary helps you show up organized and prepared so your legal team can focus on strategy, not paperwork (and you don't pay premium rates to "figure it out" in the room).
What Divorce Diary gives you (and why it matters):
So you don't sit there thinking, "I know I'm forgetting something." Everything your legal team will ask about is all thoughtfully collected in one place.
So your timeline is clear, credible, and defensible. Every entry is timestamped to create a record both attorneys and courts can trust.
So you walk in prepared as opposed to scrambling. Hand your legal team a clean, professional summary instead of piecing things together from memory.
So you can document sensitive information with peace of mind. Your data stays private and accessible only to you. Delete it anytime.
So you're not relying on scattered notes or emotional recall. Everything lives in one organized record you can reference with confidence.
So you're not reacting in real time. Walk in with a clear plan, clear facts, and a clear outcome you're working toward.
