Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about how DivorceMaybe works.

Yes — browsing listings, posting in the community forum, and messaging any professional who offers a free consultation are free. We have an optional Premium tier ($15/month CAD) for unlimited direct messages and advanced filters.

Every professional signs up, confirms their email, and submits credentials. An admin reviews and only then does the listing appear in public search. You'll see a "Verified" badge on profiles that have cleared review.

No. DivorceMaybe is a directory and community — not a law firm. Information on the site is for orientation only. Talk to a verified lawyer for advice on your situation.

We built the Safety hub with you in mind. There's a one-click Quick Exit button, hotlines for the US/Canada/UK/Australia, browsing-safety tips, and a moderated "Leaving safely" forum. Use a private browser window.

Yes — create a firm after registering. Each member of the firm appears on the firm page, and listings can be tied to the firm so clients see your full team.

Your DivorceMaybe display name appears on posts — you choose what that is. Don't use your full real name if privacy matters. Threads in the "Leaving safely" forum are moderated for de-identification.

Professionals pay a flat monthly listing fee — free for the first 3 months at launch. We never take a commission or referral fee on legal work; the only percentage anywhere is an optional 10% convenience fee on counseling sessions booked through the site. See Pricing for pros.

Email us via the contact form. We have sub-forums for South Asian / desi, women, LGBTQ+, and faith-based discussions, and we keep adding more as users ask.
