Free Divorce Planner: Prepare Before You File
Divorce comes with hundreds of questions, often at a time when thinking clearly is hardest. The free Divorganizer Divorce Planner gives you a practical place to start. Organize your finances, clarify your priorities, think through parenting and life after divorce, and prepare for the decisions ahead. No forms, no registration, and no personal information required.
If you’re here, you’re probably already feeling the weight of it.
Divorce is not just a legal process. It can reshape your finances, your home life, your family, and your future. Most people enter it feeling uncertain, overwhelmed, or unsure where to even begin.
The instinct may be to call an attorney right away. That’s understandable. But before you start making important decisions, it helps to understand where you are and where you want to go.
The better approach is to prepare first.
The Divorganizer Divorce Planner is a free planning tool from DuBois Levias Law Group. It helps you organize your finances, clarify your priorities, and think through what life should look like after divorce.
If you’re considering divorce in Washington, this is a practical place to start.
What Is the Divorganizer Divorce Planner?
The Divorganizer is a structured guide designed to help you prepare for divorce before important legal and financial decisions are made.
This is not a legal document. It’s a planning tool.
Instead of simply reacting to what is happening around you, the Divorganizer gives you a framework for thinking ahead. You can work through it privately and at your own pace.
Inside the planner, you’ll begin to:
One of the most important parts of the Divorganizer is what we call your Divorce Vision.
Instead of focusing only on what you’re leaving, you take time to define where you’re going. Where will you live? What should daily life look like? What do your children need? What does financial stability mean for you?
That vision gives you something to work toward as you make decisions about your divorce.

What Should You Prepare Before Meeting a Divorce Attorney?
Most people walk into their first divorce consultation with a lot of questions and a general sense of stress. A little preparation can make that conversation far more useful. The Divorganizer Divorce Planner helps you start organizing four important areas of your life.
Your Finances
Before making financial decisions, you need to understand what you have, what you owe, and what your life currently costs.
The Divorganizer helps you begin gathering information about:
You may discover accounts you had forgotten about, expenses you underestimated, debts you didn’t fully understand, or information you still need to find.
The goal is to build a clearer picture before important decisions have to be made.
Your Divorce Vision
Divorce planning isn’t only about dividing what you have today. It’s also about thinking carefully about what comes next.
The Divorganizer asks you to consider:
A clear vision can help you evaluate decisions based on where you’re trying to go, rather than only on what is happening right now.
Parenting and Custody
If you have children, the Divorganizer helps you think through their routines, needs, and your role in their everyday lives.
You’ll consider questions such as:
Your children aren’t getting divorced. Keeping their needs in view can help shift your thinking from conflict between parents toward creating a workable life for your family.
Your Post-Divorce Budget
One household may soon become two.
Housing changes. Utilities change. Transportation and childcare costs may change. Income may change.
The Divorganizer helps you begin creating a realistic monthly budget for the life you expect to have after divorce, including:
Understanding what your future life may actually cost can help you make better-informed decisions throughout the divorce process.
Free download. No email address or personal information required.
Why Prepare Before Divorce?
You don’t need to have every answer before talking to an attorney. That’s what your attorney is there for. But knowing more about your finances, priorities, and goals can make the legal process more productive from the beginning.
Have a More Focused First Consultation
Without preparation, much of an initial meeting may be spent identifying basic facts about your finances, family, and goals. When you arrive with that information already organized, you can spend more time discussing your questions, options, and legal strategy.
Make Better Financial Decisions
Property division, support, housing, and budgeting decisions can affect your financial stability long after your divorce is final. Understanding the numbers gives you a better foundation for evaluating your options.
Reduce Some of the Uncertainty
Preparation doesn’t make divorce easy. But uncertainty can make an already difficult process feel even more overwhelming. Gathering information and identifying your priorities gives you structure and a place to begin.
You don’t need to solve your entire divorce today. You just need a useful first step.

Divorce Planning for Washington Families
The practical realities of divorce can vary considerably from one family to another.
For families in the Seattle area, housing costs, childcare, transportation, and other everyday expenses can make the transition from one household to two particularly significant.
You may need to consider:
The Divorganizer Divorce Planner helps you begin putting real numbers and specific priorities behind those questions.
Whether you’re considering divorce in Seattle, Bellevue, Edmonds, Mill Creek, Port Townsend, or elsewhere in King, Snohomish, or Jefferson County, preparation can help you approach the process with greater clarity.
