The Divorce Decision Workbook

Before You Decide — The Honest Review

Divorce is not failure. Neither is doing the work to decide carefully. This workbook holds both.

This is for:

For the person considering divorce who wants to make a clear, documented decision rather than one made in crisis or under pressure.

You'll produce:your Your Divorce Decision Document

The Name It First Experience

You are thinking about divorce. Maybe the marriage is truly over. Maybe you are desperate for something to change. This workbook clarifies the decision. Through honest assessment of your actual needs, realistic accounting of divorce's impact on children and finances, exploration of what comes after, and clear-eyed examination of whether divorce solves what you are trying to escape — you will make the decision you can stand behind. The goal is not to stay married. The output is not a divorce filing. It is a decision you made with your full attention and your actual values.

You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.

Sample questions

  1. What do you actually want — not to escape what is currently happening, but what you are trying to get to?
  2. What have you tried in this relationship, and what specifically did not work — and do you know why it did not work?
  3. What would the Divorce Decision Agreement say about the decision you are making — and what it is based on?

Research basis

Decision-making psychology (Kahneman, Tversky): decisions made in crisis produce poor long-term outcomes / intentional assessment produces better decisions. Family systems theory: divorce is a system rupture affecting all members / understanding this informs more conscious decisions. Divorce outcomes research (Wallerstein, Blakeslee): people who understand divorce impact make more intentional co-parenting choices. Values-based decision theory: decisions grounded in personal values have better long-term outcomes than decisions driven by desperation.
