The Divorce Litigant Bill of Rights

By Splitifi — Created for Anyone Navigating Divorce, Represented or Not

Whether you have an attorney or you’re standing on your own, this process belongs to you. Not the system. Not your ex. Not the lawyers.

These are your rights—your foundation for clarity, confidence, and control.

1. You have the right to be heard.

Your voice matters. The facts of your case deserve attention—whether they’re delivered by you or through your counsel.

2. You have the right to understand what’s happening.

You’re not expected to be a legal expert, but you are entitled to understand the rules, timelines, filings, and consequences at every step.

3. You have the right to fair treatment—regardless of how you’re represented.

The court must treat you with respect, whether you appear with counsel, switch representation, or self-advocate.

4. You have the right to prepare.

You are entitled to the tools, support, and information needed to organize evidence, track deadlines, and know what’s ahead—whether or not your lawyer explains it all.

5. You have the right to transparency.

No one should keep you in the dark—not your ex, not their lawyer, not even your own. You deserve clear communication about what’s being filed, discussed, and decided.

6. You have the right to ask questions.

Whether it’s to your lawyer, the court clerk, or a support platform like Splitifi, you are entitled to ask—and get answers that make sense to you.

7. You have the right to protect your time, your children, and your peace.

The process should not destroy your stability. You are allowed to set boundaries, push back against manipulation, and ask the court to enforce accountability.

8. You have the right to use technology to gain clarity.

You can use Splitifi to help you understand timelines, filings, and next steps. Using tech to feel empowered is not cutting corners—it’s common sense.

9. You have the right to evolve.

You can switch counsel, represent yourself, settle, or go to trial. You are not locked into any one path, and your strategy is allowed to change.

10. You have the right to dignity—through every motion, meeting, and hearing.

This process does not define your worth. You are not a file. You are not your past. You are a human being navigating something difficult—and doing it on your terms.

 This is your case. Own it.

Splitifi exists to empower you—whether you have a lawyer or not.

We give you tools to understand, organize, and move forward with control and confidence.

You’re not at the mercy of the system. You’re equipped.
