The Decision Map · Free · Private
Should I get a divorce?A private place to think it through — before you talk to anyone.
If you've been quietly asking yourself this for months, you're not alone and you're not behind. This is a free, private workspace built by a Connecticut family-law firm for the part that comes before any lawyer, any filing, any conversation. No scoring. No recommendation. Nothing leaves your account unless you choose to send it.
If you're here
You've probably been carrying this for a long time.
You're not Googling "divorce attorney near me" yet. You're Googling "signs your marriage is over," "should I get a divorce quiz," "how do I know if I should get a divorce," "thinking about divorce but scared." Some of those searches happen at 2 a.m., with the phone face-down on the pillow so no one sees.
There's no test that gives you the answer. But there is a way to put the question somewhere outside your head, where you can see it. That's what this is.
The Decision Map walks you through the five voices you're probably listening to right now (the kids, the money, your reputation, who you'd be on the other side, family and faith), the reasons to stay and leave in your own order, the five-year regret test, and a quiet pattern-check of readiness signals. It ends with a one-page letter — to you, from you — that comes back every time you log in.
