Thank you for expressing interest in becoming a Member of the Alliance of Divorce Professionals (ADP), a directory of professionals assisting divorcing couples and individuals. You may be just what our "family" needs.
Our philosophy at here at ADP is to assist individuals and couples facing divorce, whether a client's need is legal, emotional or financial, with compassion. We are not a Collaborative Law group in the strict sense of the term, although we support Collaborative Law and Collaborative "teams". We recognize that over 70 percent of the population now divorcing, currently does so without attorney representation. The majority of our members will serve those clients. We also recognize that many clients will need legal advice, case review, and/or attorney representation, and have attorneys that can assist those clients as well.
Often our members work together, forming teams or "alliances" if you will, with other ADP members, depending on the needs of the client. For this reason, we strongly suggest you attend networking meetings whenever possible to assist in creating these alliances.
We intend for our website to be thorough enough so that a potential client will not have to go elsewhere for professional services needed during their divorce contemplation or action.
We encourage you to remain a member of any other professional organizations that you currently belong to or wish to join. With this in mind, the annual fee is kept to $150.00, making ADP affordable to do so.
This $150.00 membership fee will predominantly be spent on actively marketing our website, through such sources as DivorceSource, Google Ad Words, FaceBook, and Divorce Magazine.
Benefits of membership in Alliance of Divorce Professionals:
- Increased professional exposure on the Internet
- Taking advantage of shared marketing costs
- Educational opportunities at annual events
- Increased professional referral base
