Contact

The contact page for Divorce Law Authority outlines how to reach the editorial team responsible for this reference resource, what information to include in any inquiry, and what response timelines are realistic. This site covers US divorce law across federal and state frameworks — from Divorce Filing Process and Marital Property Division Laws to Military Divorce Law and International Divorce US Jurisdiction. Understanding the scope and purpose of this resource before submitting a message helps ensure inquiries are routed to the correct editorial function and receive a useful response.

Service area covered

Divorce Law Authority operates as a national-scope legal reference directory focused on United States divorce law. The site does not function as a law firm, legal aid organization, or attorney referral service. Content published here is structured around the legal frameworks established by state statutes, federal law where applicable (including the Uniformed Services Former Spouses' Protection Act for military divorce and Title IV-D of the Social Security Act governing child support enforcement), and uniform acts promulgated by the Uniform Law Commission — including the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act (UCCJEA) and the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act (UIFSA).

Coverage spans all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Because divorce law is primarily state-governed under the domestic relations exception — affirmed by the US Supreme Court in Ankenbrandt v. Richards, 504 U.S. 689 (1992) — content addresses both state-level variation and the federal overlay where it applies, as explored in Federal vs. State Divorce Law.

The following categories of inquiry fall within editorial scope:

1. Factual corrections — errors in cited statutes, case references, or procedural descriptions
2. Content gaps — topics within US divorce law not yet covered or inadequately detailed
3. Broken links or technical errors — malfunctioning internal or external hyperlinks
4. Source attribution questions — questions about the public sources cited across reference pages
5. Licensing or republication inquiries — requests to reproduce or adapt published reference content

Inquiries seeking legal advice, attorney recommendations, case strategy guidance, or representation referrals fall outside editorial scope and cannot be addressed. The American Bar Association's lawyer referral directory and state bar associations maintain public-facing referral services for those needs.

What to include in your message

Effective messages allow the editorial team to locate the relevant content, verify the specific claim at issue, and respond with precision. A vague or incomplete inquiry — for example, a message stating only "your divorce page has an error" — cannot be acted upon without follow-up.

A well-structured message should include the following components:

1. Page title and URL — the exact page where the issue appears (e.g., Residency Requirements Divorce by State)
2. Section or paragraph reference — the specific heading or paragraph where the concern is located
3. Nature of the inquiry — one of the five categories listed in the service area section above
4. Supporting documentation — for factual correction requests, include a citation to the public source that contradicts or supersedes the published content (e.g., a state statute number, a named Uniform Law Commission act, or a published federal regulation from a source such as the Electronic Code of Federal Regulations at ecfr.gov)
5. Contact information — a valid email address and, for licensing inquiries, the name of the requesting organization

For content gap suggestions, a brief description of the topic and why it fits within US divorce law reference coverage is sufficient. Topics already scheduled for publication or covered under existing slugs — such as Divorce and Bankruptcy Intersection, QDRO Retirement Assets Divorce, or Hidden Assets Divorce Legal Remedies — may already address the suggested area.

Response expectations

Editorial response times vary by inquiry type. Factual correction requests and broken link reports receive priority handling given their direct impact on reference accuracy. Content gap suggestions and licensing inquiries are reviewed on a standard editorial cycle.

General response benchmarks by category:

These windows reflect editorial review, not automated acknowledgment. Automated acknowledgment of receipt occurs within 1 business day for all message types.

Responses that require legal interpretation — for example, a message asking whether a specific state's equitable distribution standard would apply to a particular marital asset — cannot be provided. The Divorce Law Glossary and pages such as Equitable Distribution States and Separate vs. Marital Property Divorce provide the reference framework within which such determinations are made by licensed attorneys.

Additional contact options

For issues that do not fit the message categories above, the following public-record resources may address the underlying need more directly:

• State bar associations — all 50 state bars maintain public directories of licensed attorneys, disciplinary records, and lawyer referral programs. The American Bar Association publishes a directory of state and local bar associations at americanbar.org.
• Legal aid organizations — the Legal Services Corporation (LSC), a federally funded nonprofit, administers civil legal aid programs in all 50 states and US territories. LSC's program directory is available at lsc.gov.
• Court self-help centers — the National Center for State Courts (NCSC) tracks self-help center availability across state court systems. Information is available at ncsc.org. These centers assist with procedural questions and form completion, as relevant to Pro Se Divorce US Courts.
• Federal agency resources — for issues intersecting federal programs, the Social Security Administration (ssa.gov) covers Divorce and Social Security Benefits eligibility rules, and the Department of Defense (defense.gov) addresses military-specific benefits relevant to Military Divorce Law.
