$47.00

The Divorce Vault™ is where we keep those steps — 50+ hours of proven strategy condensed into a six-month, step-by-step system.

Divorce can feel overwhelming, chaotic, and uncertain. It’s easy to assume the lawyers or mediators will handle everything. But the truth is:

💬 The most powerful tool in any divorce negotiation is your clarity—and your story.

Whether you’re working together amicably or navigating a more complex situation, one document can change everything:

The Divorce Position Statement.

This short, strategic summary can guide your legal team, anchor your mediation, and serve as the foundation for a fair and efficient settlement.

What Is a Divorce Position Statement?

It’s a clear, fact-based document that outlines:

  • A brief timeline of the relationship and key events

  • The top 3 legal or financial issues to resolve

  • A concise, solution-oriented settlement position

  • A preview of documentation or evidence that supports your offer

It’s not about telling your whole life story—it’s about telling the right version: the one that moves your case forward and builds consensus.

Why This Isn’t Just a Legal Task

Many people ask, “Shouldn’t my lawyer or mediator create this?”

Not exactly. Your legal team interprets the law. Mediators facilitate negotiation. But you are the one who knows the full story, the relevant dates, the financial dynamics, and your goals.

By taking ownership of this statement, you:

  • Help everyone on your team get on the same page quickly

  • Prevent misunderstandings and unnecessary delays

  • Present a unified, professional summary that reflects your preparedness

  • Lay the groundwork for a strong, realistic offer

From Story to Strategy: How to Start

In our latest podcast and video, we walk through the exact steps:

  1. Voice Memo – Use your phone to record the story—how things began, how they shifted, and what matters most today.

  2. Timeline – Focus on dates, assets, parenting decisions, and turning points.

  3. Top Issues – Identify the 3 most critical issues (custody, the home, spousal support, business valuation, etc.).

  4. Use AI to Help – Upload your story into ChatGPT and ask it to summarize your facts, outline your key concerns, and create a position statement draft.

  5. Refine – Keep it professional, factual, and concise (1–2 pages max).

You get six months of downloadable content, expert sessions, and guided tools — plus a one-month free membership in The Divorce Allies to keep the momentum going. Continue if you choose, or cancel within 30 days with no obligation.

Whether you choose to share your story with the world or keep it protected in The Vault, you will walk away with the clarity, confidence, and tools to design the next chapter of your life — on your terms.

It’s your strategy room. Your safe. Your power move.
