Our Standards

Editorial Policy

Divorce AI publishes legal and financial content that families rely on during major life transitions. We hold ourselves to rigorous standards of accuracy, transparency, and expert oversight.

Last Updated: February 19, 2026

Content Principles

Accuracy First

Every article is researched against current state statutes, administrative codes, and court rules. We cite specific statutory references (e.g., TFC §154.125, A.R.S. §25-320) so readers can verify claims independently.

Transparency

We clearly disclose that Divorce AI is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. All limitations of our tools and calculators are stated upfront. We never substitute for qualified legal counsel.

Independence

Our editorial content is not influenced by advertising, partnerships, or affiliate relationships. When we recommend external resources, we disclose any relationships.

Accessibility

We translate complex legal and financial concepts into clear, plain language without oversimplifying. Every person deserves to understand the laws that affect their family.

Primary Sources & Citations

We cite statutes, administrative codes, and court rules directly so readers can verify the underlying legal authority. Our state-specific research covers all 50 states, with each guide referencing:

  • State family code sections and statutory tables
  • Current income caps, filing fees, and waiting periods
  • IRS publications for tax-related calculations (e.g., Pub 15-T)
  • Government databases (.gov) and official court websites

When we reference cost averages or survey data, we link to the methodology and note publication dates. External links point to .gov, .edu, and peer-reviewed sources wherever possible.

Expert Review Network

Our content is authored and reviewed by credentialed professionals, including:

  • Certified Divorce Financial Analysts (CDFA®) who verify financial calculations, asset division guidance, and tax implications
  • Licensed family law attorneys who confirm that citations align with current statutes and flag regional nuances
  • Certified divorce coaches and mediators who ensure our guidance is grounded in real-world practice

Our expert contributors bring over 150 years of combined experience in family law, financial planning, and divorce recovery. Each contributor's credentials, education, and professional background are publicly listed on their profile page.

Review & Update Cycle

Legal information changes. We maintain content freshness through:

  • Scheduled reviews: Every state research guide is reviewed at least twice a year
  • Legislative monitoring: Articles are updated immediately after notable legislation, statewide rule changes, or updated income caps
  • Visible timestamps: Every article displays both publication and last-updated dates so readers can assess currency
  • Calculator updates: Financial calculators are updated when statutory tables, tax brackets, or guideline percentages change

Use of AI in Content

We believe in transparency about our editorial process. AI tools may assist in research aggregation and initial drafting, but:

  • All legal citations and statutory references are verified against primary sources by human editors
  • Financial calculations are built and tested by our development team, not generated by AI
  • Expert contributors review content for accuracy, nuance, and real-world applicability
  • Final editorial decisions are always made by humans
